I havent made any personal jibe at you.
Oh I'm sorry, my understanding of the English language must be way off then!?
I certainly dont mind being called grumpy but when someone says 'being a grumpy unhelpful git' to me I take that as a 'personal jibe'! Wether it was tongue in cheek or not!
Most people test the water with their toes, or even an elbow, they dont usually test with their mouths and swallow large mouthfuls!!

a little childish dont you think ?
Hmmm, no I dont think so, I must of hit a raw nerve and touched upon some truth!?
If you dont like the way things are done here then dont bother visiting! With your kind of remarks the site certainly wouldnt be missing anything, it would be no great loss and I am sure the site would still survive without you!
I have helped plenty of the newbies, and I really dont mind helping them, I can appreciate we were all newbies once. I just dont like to help the obvious warez users!
But it can irk me when some of the easier questions, which have been asked over and over again, can be easily found by the use of the 'Search' button. Most answers are only fingertips away.
Next time you see us write "Use the search button" try it yourself. Search for that topic and you too will see how easily and quickly that person could have found their answer!
Next time you see us write "Read the FAQ" again try it yourself and again see how that person could have quickly found the answer they were looking for!
In most cases they would have found their answer quicker than the time it takes for someone to answer them with "Use the Search Button" or "Read the FAQ"!!
Also, in telling people to use these 2 methods of help, we are actually teaching them how to best benifit from this site and show them how to quickly and easily find the answers for their next future problem. That way they wont just rely on someone else to do it for them. By finding the answers to their questions themselves they will then gain the knowledge to point other newbies in the right direction.
Yes all newbies do have the ability to learn! And learn fast they can if they just follow a few simple guidelines.
Easy really!
Now you go smoke some more pot or whatever drug it is you enjoy!
I couldnt just finish off without at least adding one 'childish' remark!
