After reading the snotty replies you've posted in this thread, you should also "stop responding" when "lazy" newbies ask what you consider to be "the same questions a million times". I see this type of response from long time members on other forums as well, and it's "one of MY biggest pet peeves". Fortunately not all members are as "irritated" as you when a new member asks a question that has been asked many times before. Nothing turns me off as much as a forum member who believes they are somehow above the lowly newcomers and posts downright bitchy replies like you do. I don't know if the op is still visiting the forum, but I do know I won't be. I'm sure that doesn't bother you in the least. One less lowly newbie that may have asked a question that has been asked before. Have a wonderful day your highness. (not trying to be rude by any means).
