actually greylocks, my point is that YOU should have a little patience before YOU get upset. I'm just pointing out the gracious thing to do - I'm not upset myself.
I personally don't see the point in you pontificating everyone. Just ignore the thread if it pisses you off. I don't see the benefit in your long-term plan to pontificate every newbie that comes along, especially if you don't know before hand what they have or haven't done prior to asking the question.
For example: no-one on this thread referred me to another thread on this board. They referred me to external sites found on google. What does that tell you? It tells me that the answer isn't apparent on this forum - and that's precisely what I found when I looked through the FAQ forum.
You seriously don't expect people to spend hours and hours poring through google or the FAQ do you? Sure it's reasonable to look through a FEW pages - but not through reams and reams of pages, and I've already explained that I checked the first 5 pages of google search before coming here.
My point of saying "this is a forum", is because I find it enjoyable to converse with people - even giving a little tip that takes me 10 seconds to write. How long does it take you to pontificate and argue with every newbie greylocks?
But I guess you must be the guy that pontificates the poor tourist to go take a hike to the nearest information centre when he asks for directions, or ask your family members to look up a encyclopedia when they ask you a question. People must find you a swell guy.
Oh look, now I'm pontificating you. See what happens when you pass the holier than thou torch?
