I'd say 99.5% of the time, when someone (read: new member) gets chewed-out it is because they have not read all the stickies OR used the SEARCH function properly before posting.
If you cannot give us (read: me) the respect to READ ALL the stickies and use the search-function before you post questions/remarks etc that have been covered dozens of times, I will not give you the respect of a congenial post as a reply... but I often give them the answer they are searching for anyways!
Being new is no excuse for being oblivious (just as being oblivious of a law is no excuse to break it)...
If you think this forum is bad, you are in for a rude awakening on other forums... this forum is one of the most lenient I have ever been a part of when it comes to new users NOT getting chewed-out (and or banned) for their lack of research before posting...
If new users read stickies/used the search-function, not only would they get their answers much quicker, it would be much friendlier...
