Chad, We have been discussing this over email privately. There is a way to notify the author of a post with a message. I have personally been handling a lot of requests in this manner, cutting down on rehashing. There are a number of mods and we don't all know everything so sometimes things get through.
If everyone can help out with educating the community, we would appreciate it. When an issue comes up that is a rehash, I point the person to the correct resource. I also remind (inform?) them of the archives/search, issues list, and documentation. We all started somewhere but since we're coders, we're smarter than the average bear, right? A lot of times, newcomers to the API simply don't know our way of operating and just need to be given a quick hand. Thanks for your help.
