All I am saying is that the thought process before posting should go as follows:

1) Search. If you are looking for answers, check thoroughly and see if they have already been addressed.

2) If you can't find your answer, then start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum.

3) If you are not looking for answers, and would just like to vent your frustration, make use of off topic. Whine/rant threads clutter things and make it hard to find anything of substance, and OT does not show up in active topics.

Keeping the forums clean is a big part of contributing to the community IMHO.
