No. All I seem to have done is suggest that leaving your homework until the night before it's due in is a manifestly dumb thing to do when certain aspects of completing it are entirely out of your control.

If he thinks I'm being rude for daring to say so, he's going to be running in terror from some of the people who set his assignments at college or university, assuming he ever makes it there.
Surely if he's being traffic shaped he'll still make it - just more slowly

I was merely pointing out that you shouldn't just snap at the kid, his question was about STM not weather he should do his homework, merely my view you was rude end of, you may see it different and i respect that its your views.

@Thomas, I was under the impression people on the cable forum team are mods, I believe I was wrong.
