I really get the impression some people don't bother to read the message base here before posting a question. That's why we see the same old questions at least twice a week. Come to think of it, how many people read the Frequently Asked Questions? I've used the Search feature several times, and always found helpful results.

New threads often don't have a descriptive title. I recently posted a message spreading the word about the free Emotiguy. I didn't see a thread someone else had started because that title was not descriptive. There had been another "cute guy" thread about a character created by PhilC, I believe. I skipped that one.

Some people don't think about telling us their Poser version and operating system, but that's very useful information. It helps us get their answer faster. Some people seem evasive, when you have to keep asking about their configuration, and they keep giving bits of information at a time.

I spend a lot of time helping people to learn Poser. But I see it as a two-way street. People need to know how to ask a question, and understand the answer. They also need to do some work themselves. If someone wants to know where to find freebies, I ask "have you looked in Free Stuff yet?"
