Actually I think Eric has a good idea. When you are here long enough and the same question appears on the forums time and time again every week then that tells you people are just too lazy to look for the answer and want everything handed to them on a silver platter. I have no problem answering questions and people on this forum can tell you I answer a whole lot of them. But when you get someone asking a question that is obviously in the manual if they would have bothered to look then it get a bit nerve wracking or even tedious to answer the question over and over, especially when a simple search on the forum will usually get the answer...that's what it's there for. Now if someone looked and still can't get then ask away. But questions like "I just got Bryce, how does it work?" sorry I'm not going to post the manual because someone is either too lazy to open the book or downloaded from a warez site. I've been using Bryce for almost a year now and am still learning it, I have Real World Bryce 4 that I'm only have way through. I've asked some questions but usually only after I've exhausted all of my resources. I don't think it's too unreasonable to ask new people what version they are using (which can influence the answer in itself) or if they have at least done a search for the answer in either the manual or forum. Many times I've said do a search because I get tired of posting the same thing over and over.
