    Since when does asking a simple question become whining?

    Being rude to someone who asks a simple question does not answer the question.

    Rudeness can sometimes be accounted for if the responder is uncomfotable
    either because s/he does not know the answer or someone finds the question
    uncomfortable.

    I am not the only one who uses ftp manually -- if there is a reasonable
    immutable reason for keeping it at 15 seconds or less, then is the time to
    stop asking. In the meantime I not feel there is any justification for
    rudeness or aggression.

    The question is why 15 seconds for one machine and a minute for another?
    The second question is there a sound reason for not changing the machine set
    at 15 seconds => 45 seconds?
