Denezan: The question may have been pointless, but you sort of in a round about way gave him the answer, rendering the pointlessness of this topic moot, so in essence, it did have a point after all. Thankyou and goodnight.
SimonG: I didn't told him the answer, I showed him the way how he could find the answer. If anything, I educated him. The next time he wants to know when a promo ends, he will check the announcement page. (Well, I hope at least)
Look I mean no disrespect, but any person is entitled to ask any question they wish. Pointless or not he did the right thing by coming to the forums. Yes you have probably educated him by sending him to the promotions page, but you could have done it in a more "kinder" way than to say it is a pointless question.
And for the record your answer to him was to direct him to the promotions page for an answer, so the point of this post was fulfilled as you gave him direction to the answer. you could have just given him a full answer but instead chose to direct him to find his own answer at said location. Whatever the case, he asked a question, you responded.
