Consider how many times a person asks a question because they are
stuck or can't find the answer on an
older newsgroup page. Now consider how many completly stupid answers
he gets from the morons that don't really
know what their talking about. After a while of hearing complete
stupidity instead of helpful answers it's now wonder
the post have slowed down. I can't tell you how many times I've posted
because I want to try something different, and the
number one answer for the self appointed experts is "follow the
plans". Some answer for an experimental group.

Hi Lou, I don't know you from Adam, but I agree with this 100%. We seem
completely overwhelmed with negative contributors, and real short on
positive input. One of my observations has been how quickly someone suggests
we can solve all questions by sending the posted to search the archives. It
always completely ingores the possibility someone might have joined the
group recently with fresh input on a subject.


Agreed, but I'd add doing an archive search isn't always easy if you
don't ask the question correctly in the first place. I have had cases
where I have gotten the answers I news groups when someone points out
the correct term for something. I would direct someone to archives if
they want more than what I can give.
