If asking for directions to walk to a place was on an Internet technical forum.

"Well I wouldn't start from here"

"Catch a bus, the driver will know"

"Why do you want to go there xxx is better"

"You are using the wrong shoes, try £5000 worth of wellingtons"

"My friend once walked to somewhere else"

"Don't walk trains are better"

"Turn right before you get to the bridge"

"Never heard of xxx "

"Read the f%£%%$g map!"

@Extelec you're asking directions to a 3rd party destination and can't even fully describe the way there! How do you expect anyone to help you?
@Extelec oh, and also: that destination is a for profit mall, here, this non profit mall is much better. You won't get most of what you want there, but at least it's free
@pjakobs @Extelec Okay, you want to go to xxx? What have you tried so far?
@xinit @pjakobs @Extelec That's one question I can fully get behind.
@pjakobs @Extelec Please provide a Minimum Working Example of a destination to which you do not know how to navigate.

How did you get there? If you don't tell, how can you expect us to help you?

@Extelec And the last message in the thread will be a message by the OP saying "Nevermind, found the way!" without any further details. 😉
@Extelec til Sicily is an internet forum

@Extelec

If you're standing in Central Park asking passer-bys for directions for how to walk to the JFK Airport, I don't think it's unreasonable for the people you ask to point out that it's going to be a lot easier for you to take the train.

@skjeggtroll but I'm the guy that also has a 20ft pole.
@Extelec In general I follow the method that if I know absolutely nothing about the subject in the post, I say nothing. But too many people think they should say _something_....
@Extelec This is basically the first chapter of Notes From A Small Island by Bill Bryson.
@Extelec when cycling in Ireland I asked for directions to my destination. The guy replied "it's not so much a place, more a state of mind" and walked off...

@quixoticgeek Island directions ate the best in the world.

I once asked when the next bus was in a small Irish village.

Oh, it will be here in 30 mins, unless its early.

Or longer, if its late.

I'd wait at the grocers, they serve Guinness.

@Extelec what exactly are you trying to do?
@Extelec the reply also ends with:
"I use Arch BTW"
😄
@Extelec Trolls are still alive
@Extelec Painfully accurate. 😂 😭
@Extelec @joshourisman Especially when dealing with open source stuff.
@Extelec
Somehow you missed
You can't get there from here.
@Extelec @revk The last comment is perfectly reasonable. But first use a GPS compass to properly align the map.
@Extelec @corbden hmmmmmmm. That type of answer might explain why men don’t like to ask their peers for directions. 😅
@Extelec - I've never walked across bridges myself, but you can definately find the answer using a globe.
@Extelec
I would replace "to a place" by "to a sweat shop"
