Hmm, let me see: Nerd I'd Like to Fuck? Nope, doesn't do it for me.
Seriously?
First, the poster is an obvious AC troll so that pretty much automatically makes the discussion moot. But, supposing that wasn't the case...
The poster gave absolutely no information as to what sort of problem he was having. All we know is that it involves USB wireless. This is more or less the equivalent of "Our ship is broken. Will you make it go?"
And if the completely vague and generic complaint wasn't enough, the poster made generous use of colorful metaphors. This, more than anything else, is probably why he got the sarcastic response.
If you're going to complain about the user--developer communication challenge, next time please pick a better example than an AC troll.
