Janglo shmanglo

Janglo - for those who do not know is a Yahoo Group for English speaking Jerusalemites. It exists so people can post questions, sell/buy items or generally pass information to the masses of English speaking Jerusalem.

I seriously think some people should be banned from using the service for being too lazy or too stupid to use it.

Like the person who asked the question "Does anyone know if there is a listing for Shai Movers in the yellow pages?" LOOK IT UP!!!

Or the person who wrote a page an a half explanation about a piece of plastic that broke off the hangy bit in her closet and then proceeded to ask "Do you know if I can get a replacement for this at Ace.? CALL ACE AND ASK OR GO THERE!!!

Then there are stupid people who should be banned from replying to another person's posting. When I had a problem with the very large glass doors in our lounge I put a post asking for recommendations of someone to come and replace the rollers on the doors. I got back so many responses that said "have you tried WD40" ARE THEY SERIOUS???

And of course the people who don't know how to phrase an intelligent sentence. "How do you put a CD burner in a Pentium 4?I have a bit of technical background.?" I WOULD GUESS THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD PUT ONE INTO A PENTIUM 3!!!

But anyway - Kol Hakavod to the moderators for all their hard work. For those of us who know how to use Janglo and appreciate it - we thank you!
