Wait. How would he find someone in his area to talk to about that? Being that there's no way to search for such things on the internet. I mean, if you're right and there was no way for you to find this out without starting your own thread, then how is he to do the same? (PS: How did you find out about this site? Did you google it?)

Lets be real here. You asked a simple question that Google or any other search engine (or even a simple power search here) could have easily answered. And yes, this is a user forum, but when every new person coming is asks the same basic questions, over and over again, it gets old. (And yes, this has been asked in at least 4 other threads before this...)

The solution: Either stop answering and leave the community, or answer in a way that will make the poster STOP asking simple questions that are easy to find in an automated way. If you spoon-feed them, they just keep doing it. Yes, negative reinforcement isn't pleasant, but it's quite effective.

Don't think that's an issue? I invite you to do a search on this forum and find threads started by people that were "spoon fed" early on and the royal pain they became simple because they came to expect their every whim to be answered directly, in a new thread. There are tons. It would also give you some practice with the search options on the site...

PS: Your sarcastic replies indicate that you too follow this approach to things in life at times. You're not a stranger to it's use, as indicated by the quickness in which you utilized it. Maybe it's time to stop whining about things and take your lumps for asking something a 5 year old could have told you by checking google. By continuing to act like a spoiled 5 year old, you're simply increasing the chance that you wind up on the ignore list of people that could actually be helpful to you later.
