I've been a member of this community for several years and enjoyed the assistance of members immensely. And I try and give back to the community by answering questions as well, no matter how silly or easy it may seem. In the last few months, I've notice an influx of warez kiddies, some outright bold ones too. There's no toleration for that here. At the same time, I've seen some young users who are learning get caught in rude responses from the trigger happy. So here's a suggestion.... If you're asking a very basic question and you're new here (meaning that the oldies don't recognize your nicname), please do yourself a favor. 1. Identify the version you have, be it the demo, B4, whatever. 2. Tell us that you have the manual and you are stumped with page number xxx. 3. Ask your question. That way we know you are either an owner or you are going to be asking for about 30 days until your demo expires. I'm all for helping folks with questions and I'm all for drop kicking the warez kiddies. The tough thing is being able to make the right call so the above procedure will help a lot. Anyone else have a suggestion as to how to balance this out so we don't inadvertently trash the wrong person, or assist the wrong person?
