some new members doesnt do searching, just jump in

[Kowalski]

attacking new members should not be one of them.

nobody is attacking anybody here :!:
the problem is that as you grow bigger, the problems grow bigger too.
so here is another suggestion: why dont we add a sub-index for newbie questions only?

Look, I'll let this go and maybe attribute the difference of opinion to language differences. But when you call someone lazy, you are attacking them. Translation differences notwithstanding, I don't how you could possibly think any differently.

What about it? It's exactly the kind of question I would ask here myself! Someone was asking about recommendations for an MP3 player that could be controlled with a finger while the PPC is mounted to the dash of a car.

So how exactly would you efficiently and successfully search for that one then Kowalski? :confused totally:

The boards are here for folks to help each other, ask questions, shoot the breeze etc. Questions that do not have an easy or cut & dried answer are exactly the ones to ask here. It's GOOD to search first for an answer, but if you don't get the answer you need, then it's GOOD to ask questions here. Share and share alike eh! :wink:

so here is the situation:
since i work alot, i am in lots of stress everday in my life even sundays!
this makes me less tolerant.to be more specific

in this post our friend asked for a player which can map hardware buttons. the amswer is even the default player, windows media can do this. you see, you even dont have to search, just a couple of minutes would be enough to discover the situation.since i answer lots of dumb questions a day, i get sensitive thus cant show patience.

shawnc stated a good point. since i am a non american person, there will be some misunderstandings for sure. in the real life i talk very dirty! but here i want to be as polite as i can.

lastly we are all here to share knowledge for sure. there is no doubt about it. thats why i suggessed this

why dont we add a sub-index for newbie questions only

[JvanEkris]

IMHO,

Problem is that if you let people ask questions for the 10.000.000 time, the board loses it's informative value because it basically becomes a broken down recordplayer. It is absolutely useless. Biggest problem is that the real interesting questions get burried underneath tons of "how do i...." questions that were answered a couple of hundred times before.

Kowalski,

It is definitely NOT bias. I generally find your posts to be helpful and insightful. It is simply a difference of opinion. I remember when I was new, there was one member who was particularly mean. Nothing seemed to live up to his lofty standards. I always searched, but as great as this site is, the search feature is just not very helpful (IMO). I just don't think there is any reason to attack people and that's what I thought you were doing. I always respected "veterans" who suggested to newbies that they search. The suggestion usually included a friendly emoticon and a link.

But I don't want to beat a dead horse. I only responded because I wanted you to know my disagreement with your position had nothing to do with bias.

My suggestion is that you should just ignore those threads, then. There's no rule that says you have to respond. Ideally, the people that are annoyed don't respond, and the people that aren't, do.

Too much! I waited for the 1st price drop and jumped in. Total cost around $340. I think they have come down some more. BTW, mine in sandisk (as are all 3 of my SD cards) and I've had ZERO problems up to this point.
