You know I kinda think this is a lose-lose situation. Here's how I see it: If we (GC regs) tell peeps repeatedly to do a search, we're seen as mean/rude or whatever, right? HOWEVER, I'm not seeing how it could be better if we ignore stupid or redundant posts. Don't ya'll think that's STILL mean/rude to not answer a post at all!? I know if I were new and posted something (not knowing it was asked 1 million times already) and NO ONE answered, I'd be upset and probably wouldn't come back (I'm not one to keep asking stuff if I know SOMEONE on this board could have answered it...I mean, geez, people answered other posts, why not mine?).
To me, it seems that either way, we could potentially lose new users b/c we either: answered in a mean/rude way OR were mean/rude by ignoring their post!
Sheesh! What is the answer to all this madness?!! LOL!
I think if we could get that FAQ sheet to pop up when you come to GC, that would be sweet.
