Going to give you a different perspective on it.
As a newbie I read a lot on the site and did a lot of searches. Now I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed so if I could figure out using the search engine others should too. When I became a more senior member, I’d venture to the Newbie Forums to help out. I wanted to give back to the site that’s helped me. Aggravating? After just a brief time the repeated questions became tedious and just sucked the life out of my wanting to behelpful. I stopped going into the Newbie thread. Not doing a simple search is just plain lazy in my book. Since when is it wrong to point someone to a thread that completely answers their question?
