I'm not trying to be ornery, I'm trying to be helpful. There is a LOT of useful information archived on this message board and obviously a lot of new people aren't going through the old messages to see what's already here. It could keep the board from being bogged down with redundant questions AND it gives the newbies access to a lot more information than just their initial question. Seems like a win-win situation to me. Blunt and direct is NOT the same thing as ornery, but unfortunately too many people seem to think it is.
Remember - give a man a fish (answer his question) and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish (tell him how to find the answers to his questions that are already here) and he eats for a lifetime. |
