Gotta Do Homework Before Posting?

[CoryM]

I understand that most people are backyarders and do not deal with cars for a living and therefore don't have the same knowledge as others. Thats a fact of life. These people will be asking the same kind of questions that you asked when you were at their level so you have to expect basic questions as they learn. Answering the same question over and over again gets old, I realize that, but there is nothing saying you have to respond or even read it (unless you're a mod, then I suppose you have to read some of them ;) ). If they are too lazy to do a search, don't post a response. If you don't feel like posting a friendly, informative response why bother? It just seems a little odd that people who have the knowledge complain about simple questions when they aren't required to answer them. Its nice, and it is appreciated, but if you don't enjoy helping people don't help them. I am not hacking on anyone in specific but it seems like people forget they don't need to answer simple questions if they don't want to. I pick and choose what I help out on because I like to help people, but not enough to read every post.
On that note I understand its a fine line between being nice to the noobs, and keeping the board attractive to the more knowledgable people and I think you guys are doing a good job of that. The book list is also very good and I would recommend to anyone learning to get them. For their benefit though, not mine :lol .
Cheers.
