If you feel the question is inappropriate, then be direct and say so, or say nothing at all. Frankly, there are way too many snarky replies to noobs trying to grasp a handle of this hobby. It's to the point it makes other noobs (like myself) afraid to even ask a question. I guess you have never heard of the phrase, there are no stupid questions.
Low effort questions get low effort responses.
And there are such things as stupid questions.
"What TD should I use" is literally the most basic ass fucking question there is. The truth of the matter lies in "you should do research".
I tell you, ok, use Hont. But then you find out Hont is bad at replies and refunds and is kind of an asshole, also bad at QC. Will you complain that I recommended him?
Before noobs send money to a TD, maybe they should do their own research instead of relying on the word of a random forum member who has their own personal preferences.
