Since I've been lurking and posting on the site for over a year now I don't consider myself a "Newbie" anymore.

With that said....

I have noticed some posts lately from some new members.

First let me say welcome!

Second, I suggest that before you post a question you should use the search feature to see if we had discussed the same thing in the past. By doing this it will either answer your question or create a whole new batch. This way some of us "old timers" can get into the nitty-gritty of your problem without having to answer basic questions that probably have already been answered, probably by George (Oops, was that sniping? LOL)

In no way am I trying to discourage anyone from posting, I'm just think the whole process would work better if step one for a "Newbie" was a search.

If the rest of you "Old timers" think I'm out of line just ask me to shut my pie hole and I will. :)

I agree, and apologize ....I'm still a newbee and at first I didn't even realize that the search engine was available. I also didn't use very good search methods in the beginning.....ie; asking questions about convertible D versus speedsters.....wait a minute, I still ask those kind of questions, but seriously it takes some practice. I found that using a lot of detail at first and then shortening up the detail in multiple searches results in the best search results for a given subject. Also after much research you will be able to better ask questions and get the answers your really looking for.....
