Had the same issue elsewhere
and was identified by many as a PIA because I began suggesting, many years ago, that people do their homework and research first. Didn't go too far, so I switched my approach. I fully agree with Peggie in her last post's assessment of what appears to be folks who could, but appear perhaps not to have, done a wee bit o' reading beforehand. And, perhaps, they're not the best in English or grammar. So...we learn to live with it. I began to find and post links to topics that have been covered and help direct folks where to search, and others have actually embraced this approach by noting, "Oh, we discussed this at: "<link>." This board is somewhat different, because it's much bigger and only shows a few days of activity, a VERY important consideration in site usage and response to repetitious-type questions. But heck, if it's been posted within the past 24 hours, a "default" factory setting (or could that be 8 hours?), it would help if the respondent just read what's in front of him. Not all of us are alike, but when I stumbled across this site, I was fascinated, but lurked around a LOT before I got to the first question, no-less a first reply... I understand the purpose of all this fun and games is to help share what we've learned. And we all seem to recognize that the folks asking the questions are relatively new to the sport and we either try to direct them to a certain place, mention the archives (which many folks may not know exist when they ask their first few questions) or leave it to the folks following in our footsteps, who used to be new-to-it, just as we once were, to fill in the gaps. Occasionally, a HOT button comes up, like this one. Almost as fun as varnish and Cetol
