If I'm off about this, no doubt someone will say as much, but it seem like there's been a lot of posts by newbies where they didn't put any work into finding the answer themselves before asking some of the simplest questions.
Sometimes, experienced members will try to help, but it also seems like many aren't going to bother wasting their time spoon feeding something that may as well be a bot.
The newb will get good answers and suggestions, then just go out in left field on their own way like nothing anybody spent time to post even mattered. Then there's the ones that just about need someone to hold their hand ever step of the way even though they have access to a world of information.
Many times these people will only post when they need something then it's crickets. They seldom contribute anything and I get the feeling that some only want help so they can flip some junker.
It boggles the mind that people are so helpless and expect others to walk them through everything. Sometimes it seems like they're offended that people don't just jump to help them and in the time they're waiting for free concierge service, they could've easily found the answer on their own. The 'really, no replies' bumps after a day are...not going to gain them anything.
Fighting off the urge to reply sarcastically is tough sometimes. Is the gas on, is there gas in it, is the switch on, lets start at the top with your think melon and go from there.
I do have to congratulate the people who don't bother to post critically. There's some really dumb questions that deserve ridicule, if for nothing else, pure laziness. Bless some of the well intentioned members too, who try, but they're talking to a rock. Also, a thanks to the new members who's first post is to drop in to introduce themselves.
I'm not upset, this isn't a rant, I just wanted to get it off my fuzzy man chest. This site has become exceptionally polite to the point I'm just wondering if anyone else notices this. If anyone has eveidence AI bots are creeping around, posting bot type things, that would be informative.
