Guy sends me an email yesterday with obviously a homework question.
I tell him to look at Sun's web site, and to do his own homework.
First thing this morning, i get this reply:

Then, he follows up with this one, with no prompting:

I send him a response telling him that he's not likely to get help if
he calls people names, and that he should do his own research. He
seems to not have looked at the URL I gave him, which would have answered
his question. The final mail (so far) from him today:

Rude fucking comments? You're the one calling people names and
cursing when I told you to do your own research.
Tip: If you expect to get help from someone, you shouldnt
call them names, or send them questions lifted directly out of
a test or homework.

So, i forwarded all of the emails to the president of the company.
Lesson 1: if you're going to cuss out someone for no reason, dont
do it from your corporate email account. 8-)
