Guys, don't you think you're being a bit harsh? I know the rules are to search, but lets be real. How many people do that?
This guy was trying to help out. Put more emphasis on how he's helping the community, and just mention its good to search because there's already a thread. Adding a few smiles also helps to keep the thread light-hearted
I've noticed many of the posts towards new members who have made mistakes are VERY harsh and negative. We don't want to scare away our new friends. Everyone has to learn sometime. And no matter how many times you say SEARCH, there'll still be some who mess up.
Welcome to PPCGeeks, OP!
