BobFrapples was completely justified in expecting descriptions of the pictures, rather than the pictures themselves, based on the poster's fucked-up/ambiguous syntax.

Yes, it's probably a good idea to use the mouseover function to check out links, but it's just common courtesy to use "NSFW." People get all lathered up when a poster neglects to indicate that a link is to a .pdf, so what's wrong with being annoyed when a poster leaves out "NSFW"?

MeTa post: ikkyu2 is a one-man AskMeFi machine today, even...

ikkyu2: I have had plenty of chemistry, both in high school and in college (and got A's, believe it or not), but it's not an especially strong subject for me. The information about orbitals and the relatively large size of a phosphorus atom was not really something I would have remembered/figured out on my own, so your answer was very useful and appropriate. Thank you.
