Well I'll tell you that sometimes I help people if I know I can give them correct information. Sometimes I suggest a search and other times I send a pm. It depends on how busy I am. I rarely ask questions here because I search and find it myself or send a pm to one of the many credible members on this awesome site and ALWAYS get help. I guess what I'm saying is that if you want information go get it, don't ask someone else for it. The situation with this other new member could have gone better, however he was actually politely asked/told to search. He posted something negative and it was all downhill from there. I read posts all the time from new members some get help, some don't. It starts with them, they set the tone and the responses follow. If you or anyone else doesn't want to "weed through fifty posts of crap" as you say well fine. How do you think everyone else finds information? They go get it. Do you really think everyone here knows all the answers? As I said before I help people all the time, sometimes advising them to search is helping. However what I never do is call people names and post pictures of nazis.
