So how best to respond to new folks when they make such posts?
1. Do *not* call them out in public.
2. Do *not* use names like "newbie" or anything to show that they are of lesser status than yourself.
3. Do be polite.
4. Do try to be informative.
5. Do use PM's whenever you are trying to help them in such areas.
In this thread, there is plenty of rudeness on both sides.

People should read this post. When you are done you should read it again.
Give the person the benefit of the doubt here, they have only been registered for a few months.
We shouldn't "steer a newbie" in the right direction by slamming them and assuming they know how to perform a search on GC.
