This is an issue on EVERY List or Fourm I've seen or I'm on. We have it
here. I see it on my ZX-7R list. I see it in the Nissan Frontier fourms. I
see it on my Gas powered R/C list, on the mountain bike forum I go to. (Damn
I got a lot of Hobbies!)

Not *sometimes* Geo, most of the time. I make a note on every list that I
join to sit back and see how things operate. When newbies get there hands
slapped is when the join a list, on the first day..first post demanding
answers to thier questions. Not making any effort to see what the rules or
how the list works, or putting any effort into their problem. This is when
newbies get into trouble.

Exactly...a little effort goes a long way.
