I wonder how hard could it be? they could of just type this into the search box : "which oil should I use"
and the results will come back.
The point is there are too many "free lunch" people these days that just want you to spoon feed them with info. some of them would rather wait for 2-3 days then they will "find" their dead thread just to ask "Anyone know?", they could've find the info that they need if they're willing to spend just 5-15 minutes of their time to browse around and/or search.
but nope, they just dont want to do it.
When I(or whoever) tell them to search, we were trying to save them some time. Dont u get the idea ?

Perhaps we can get a button to press next to quick reply for "Polite way to tell the person to search". Then we can simply press that button if it is someone who should search and a polite message is auto-generated. Also, if the button has already been pressed in the thread, it cannot be pressed again. This way if we use the button, the noob will be politely told to search, and he wont be spammed. Provided people still doesn't get creative.
nycgps, You know I understand what you mean with telling a user to search. I'm just objecting to the way people are telling other people to search, and that there has to be so many.

People jsut need to search. no "im to lazy" or "not enough time"...just stop waiting to be spoon fed and look!
also, can we have people who go around and delete all the "Im new...spoon feed me" threads that have been made but not used in a long time? This would make it easier to search and less crap to sift through.

A thread that might be an example.
I'm reading a thread this morning that may serve as example to both the "Search, Noob" folks; and the ones who are offended.
The example is This Thread that was started by a guy wanting his problem fixed, but contains NO Information to help fix the problem... There isn't even enough information to say: "Search Noob".
My point is that it is easy to frustrate those of us who are genuinely interested in reading about the problems that others are having and how those problems are solved.
I've said before that new threads from first-timers should be reviewed prior to getting on the boards.
Thoughts?
