This site is also full of volunteers who give of their time for free, who have lives and families and jobs, and who come here when they can, and since are not being paid, are not under an obligation.

And are also not responsible for the fact that you were trying to get help on your homework the night before it was due. That was your responsibility.

I know I was just mad I didn't know the answer. No disrespect to the website intended at all

OK, that's fine. We've just gotten people who blame us cause they didn't get their homework done or got a D on some test. So nice to hear, thanks. :)
