Ouch!

 

(I agree... way too many questions get asked here that are in the FAQs.)

Simply typing yes is not an option. you would much rather go WAY out of your way to make a relatively new member of the fourm look stupid.

 

Yes I agree an overwhelming amount of questions are pouring into this forum, 7 questions posted on the same day might be difficult to sort thru.

I love this website so let me teach you something.

I understand forum decorum since I have been surfing the internet since 1993. A much better way to retain some newbies might be this response:

 

Welcome aboard! Good to have new members!

Most of the questions you might have could be found in our FAQ a simple search can also reveal solutions to your problems.

 

The answer to your question is yes. Good luck and happy posting!

 

Cut it and paste it next time , it could save you all the time you wasted trying to make someone feel dumb.

 

 

thanks guys! :

Not just you, but all those other topic starters too!

 

I apologize for acting like an show-off jerk ass...here and in a couple other threads too. It's great to have new members and I hope you stick around!

[Atari2600Lives]

Great to hear...I am better for it as well as I will be sure to check the FAQ and do some searches!
