For some cases, it can be a problem. For example, I enjoy going to howardforums.com which is a cellphone hacking community. That forum suffers greatly from new members asking HOW DO I ADD FREE RINGTONES TO MY NEW RAZR THX every.single.day. I'm not even joking about the caps and the tone of the voice either. Questions like this has been answered at least 20 times, and at this point, the question serves no value but degrading the signal to noise ratio. It makes the site harder to use because of the useless information like that, and it eventually renders the site useless. I understand where the members of this mailing list is coming from when you say "respect the new users", but in some cases, new users must be forced to search unless you want your site to end up in a pile of junk. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
