Johny Tenfinger, Perhaps the information is not clear in the manual, and perhaps the mailing list archive is not easily searchable, eh? Imagine walking into a pub, asking for the price for a beer and then being thrown out by the bouncer because you dared ask a question? So what if the price is on the wall? Maybe it was written in red letters on a green background, and I am colour blind. If you donĀ“t have anything helpful to say, please do not post! The user uses FSO, not SHR, and RTM or RTFM is not a helpful statement. If the info is in the manual, point the user to the correct link! Please! By posting helpful links, Google and such will pick it up and these questions will go away!
Mailing lists like these are for us, the users, and not meant to be a sterile environment. This is not an operating theatre in a hospital! Think "Bazaar", not "Cathedral"! So what if the question was asked 100 times before? If 100 individuals asks the same question in their own words, you will have 100 different ways of looking at the problem, so you have 100 different pieces of meta information (context). If each of these 100 questions are answered, thousands of people out there have a lot better chance of getting accurate search results. Not all of us are technical gurus, merely adventurous individuals. If you post helpful answers, everybody (including you) wins. If you throw RTFM rants at people, all you do is make the list an unpleasant place to be. Be nice to people! Thanks.
