You're such a jerk!!!
Just kidding.
I agree we can be a little harsh on first time posters. I work for a race track that holds national events. Well I did till they laid me off. That's another story. Anyway they tell you, You might get asked the same question 20 times in one day. Don't get aggravated with the 20th person. Sure you've had to answer the same annoying question 19 times already, but to them, it's the first question they asked.
We need to ease up on the newbies and try to help them. If after that you find they are an idiot, flame on.
