Since when does asking a simple question become whining? 

Being rude to someone who asks a simple question does not answer the question. 

Rudeness can sometimes be accounted for if the responder is uncomfotable 
either because s/he does not know the answer or someone finds the question 
uncomfortable.

I am not the only one who uses ftp manually -- if there is a reasonable 
immutable reason for keeping it at 15 seconds or less, then is the time to 
stop asking. In the meantime I not feel there is any justification for 
rudeness or aggression.

The question is why 15 seconds for one machine and a minute for another?
The second question is there a sound reason for not changing the machine set 
at 15 seconds => 45 seconds?
