what gives you the impression that I want to talk to you? Next you're going to want to take warm showers and sing kumbaya.
Checking the FAQ (which this joint unfortunately doesn't have) first has been a custom in online forums for as long as I can remember. The point of doing so isn't to stifle discussion, it's to help someone find the information they are looking for much faster than starting a thread, waiting for replies and having to sort through all the different responses and try to figure out which are the applicable and/or factual. It also enables a common point of reference if then the person decides to start a thread on the subject.
But considering the crippled search and lack of a FAQ we have here...yeah, it's pretty much just us grouchy old trolls that give you crap.
