[I know this does not belong here, but I think its important]


Lately I have been observing increased hostility towards people asking questions on these forums, which is sad.
I have come to love the sense of community one gets with Macs, and Im afraid that some cranky people are turning this community into a Windows-like world full of techy snobs livings in their Moms basement . Seriously people, what gives?
I read this response today: not again...there is a search function you know, and there are plenty of threads on this...
IMHO, the amount of energy this response took could have been used to actually answer the question. Or you what they say, if you have nothing better to say; Shut the heck up!!!
While I am equally annoyed by the 145th question about new macbooks soon, I do think some people just need the help. If you feel inclined, help them, or tell them HOW to search the forums rather than just snapping back, and maybe give them some threads to look at. People have done those for me and I am very thankful.
Somebody did have a valid response to that attitude: Remember this is a forum, a place of discussion... not a FAQ. If People kept simply searching it would leave us with a collection of stale threads and responses
We have a pretty good community here . Please lets try to keep it that way. Just my two cents please dont tell me this has been discussed before; I just feel it had to be said.
Have a great day!
