...maybe I'm just spoiled, or different, because of my years spent on the DSF. But, back then, when someone posted a question to which we had each answered a thousand times, and to which the answers were readily available in half a dozen places, it was NOT custom to trash the original poster for not "doing your own homework". After all, that was why they had come to us: to find the answers, because they didn't know. And you know what? We provided them, time and again. POLITELY. Some of us went so far as to write up a whole mini-guide each time the question was raised, instead of just posting a link pointing to where the information could be found.
Now, this may not be the DSF, but seeing as how it was founded by those who were originally from the DSF, I don't think the attitude towards people and their questions has changed any.
Next time, instead of trashing someone for posting a question, no matter how simple, why don't you try and be polite and helpful, without the dripping sarcasm? Mayhap you should do your OWN homework next time, as to the customs of the forums.
(BTW - That's TWICE. ;) Say hello to Trag'Oul for me. ;))
