But when u act like a jerk you makes a whole discussion off of that one stupid question.. Get a grip... and jus so you know people with less experience arent gonna be as efficient when searching, if this guy knew what he was looking for he would never have made the thread

Don't get me wrong, just because I get irritated by seeing overposting of the same topics doesn't give me the right to be a crabby old man about it. That said, there's a forum I visit which supports a custom firmware for portable mp3 players...they have ridiculously strict guidelines about posting and can be ruthless at times when they flay a poor n00b for asking a very basic question which has been answered before in numerous posts. That used to bug the hell out of me as I found it very cold and intolerably rude, but the efficiency of the forum is top notch and it is incredibly productive.
What bothers me the most is that more often than not it's just laziness on behalf of the poster, not genuine ignorance. Some people view a forum as a community, others as a resource, and so on...I guess it really all boils down to how the moderators choose to shape it
