I am probably the minority..... but I find it rude where someone post a question , the first response is "have you searched for this yet? Many topics already". In my opinion this is a forum and I want to TALK to someone NOT do some research project. I think a lot of the posters are really looking to vent to their peers. Also no one wants to respond to a three year old thread because probably no one will read or respond.
Not speaking from experience as I don't usually ask questions here.
