very reasonable questions posted on this board. No, I don't go to MTChat. Why don't you just hang out there, and those of us who remember what it was like to be new at this can help our novice counterparts on this board.

Subject: I agree with answering questions, but . . .
I think the use of the Internet is overrated. In my experience, the answers that come up on Google aren't always correct. My posting was not meant to be negative, nor to discourage anyone from asking questions. But don't be afraid to investigate on your own either.

'and' would not stand on it's own as a sentence and therefore does not need a comma.

And it is quite obvious you dont have ANY patience...so why bother posting? sm
As a newbie I greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to give their time and knowledge to help me, or any newbie, out. What I dont understand is why people with no patience and an obvious knack for being rude come to these boards and post when clearly they have no intention of helping anyone.
Again, I thank all of the "oldies" who offer help and kindness to the "newbies".

I try to teach the way I was taught, to do research and learn to find things because answers are not always available or correct on the Internet, and this way, you are more self-reliant. Please excuse my tone in the last post. It was not meant to hurt you at all.

I can't find anything on it on the internet, so I thought I'd post it on here to see if such a term exists. More than likely, the doc is saying 10 profiles, which I suppose would make sense in reference to a CT scan.

A lot of the questions you have been
Subject: A lot of the questions you have been
asking are very, very basic. You might be getting in over your head if these terms are unfamiliar to you. Maybe you are just nervous about taking a test and are struggling because of that. I hope that is the case. However, it is my opinion that asking for others for help on a test is cheating. I'm sure you probably didn't think of it this way, otherwise you would not have shared at this point that you are testing. Iknow you are desperate for help, but the company is testing YOU, not us on the word board. You have to stand on your own skills when testing. If you don't pass, then it means you are not ready. Good luck to you.
