The point here sir, has nothing to do with answering questions, but with those who DO come to the site in search of answers to this or that and just don't bother looking for the answers to their questions. Even if I were a beginner, I'd have enough interest in what I'd like to do to take the time and read everything I could because the 'internet' option would be for me, a goldmine of information. I'm not a beginner and I still read everything for the same reason. Noone here, especially me, has any problem answering questions. If you would read the message board, you'd see that for yourself. The point, is in that
it makes no sense to clutter the message board with repetitious information- EVERYBODY here is trying to learn something, and the information should be as diverse as possible. To clutter it with repetitious answers and messages, if anything, ONLY MAKES THE NEWCOMER'S EXPERIENCE HERE MORE FRUSTRATING AND TIME CONSUMING. It makes everybody's experience frustrating in fact.
So please please please don't accuse anyone of impatience or meanness. It saddens me to see someone post a question and then have to rewrite the answer to thier request, simply because they did'nt scroll through the board, or navigate the site. MY time is no less precious than anyone else's, and no I don't have hours and hours to be here or whatever. I just contribute a lot because I appreciate the fact that the site is here and would like everyone to get as much as they can from it. I apologize, if I have upset you or said anythig that offended you, though I really think you've misunderstood what was stated here.
