Heh, heh. Some poor guy with a brand new phone posts an often asked question in a new thread, you just about have an embolism, and you tell me not to take it personally. LOL!
C'mon. Lighten up. So many newbies get here and have just bought their new (insert model here) and have a question. They do a google search and wind up here on crackberry. They scan a few forum entries and think, wow, this is the place for my question.
They sign up and get to post their question. Should they search the forums first? Of course. Do they? Well, not always. They just got the phone and can't make it do something.
Yet some self-appointed moderator wanna-be's immediately jump on these poor newbies and flame them for posting. Ok, ok, they SHOULD be tutored in the proper use of the board. Educated. Not chastised. As they use it more, they will realize the error of their ways, and change them.
Just my opinion. I mean we could be chasing off someone that becomes the next BB guru. So give these new guys some slack. Answer their question and maybe tell them they can find out more information about their question if they do a search.
But how do you do a search for something that is brand new and unfamiliar. We require a license to drive a car. Rudimentary knowledge is required before you can operate it. The same is not required for these tech toys. So those of us that have information must be patient with those that seek it.
And chill. It's a free exchange of information. And not perfect.
