Hey sorry about the noob post. From the looks of the eyes and mouth on your cars I can tell your are a very important person who shouldnt be bothered with questions.

i'm not really sure whether you're just trying to be an a$$ or if you're just playing around.

If you mouse over the post you can see the first few lines. If it's deja vu, skip it. Otherwise this forum is here to share information and help each other. I was a noob once too and still have a lot to learn. I'd rather see a repeat question than some of the flaming that has gone on (and on and on) in some posts.
I think a little humor and sarcasm break the tension when some poor sod is wrestling with his broken A6 and is desperate for help.
My pet peeves: run on sentences and poor grammer. Do you think audiforums can add a spellchecker? Do you think I really care?

It's the way the world is heading. People are just too lazy or impatient to search for stuff themselves and IMHO age plays a significant role. It's easier for them to post the same questions repeatedly then to actually search for the correct answer first. Some may not know how to use the search feature or maybe just too damn lazy to weed through the results. What would they have done in the days before the world wide web?

This subject seems to come up once-in-awhile. I wish people that talked about this used the search function before complaining about people that don't use the search function.

i'm not saying that i'm the all time poster by any means, but god,a lot of timeswhen i get on here, it's the same questions over and over again by random peoplethat are newbies to the site. use the friggin search button, lord knows that those questions have been posted by noobs thousands of times!
there, i'm done venting now, but i'm sure other people on here feel the same way.

JEEZ,
I dont want to offend you, BUT you have only been a member here for a year and only have what, 360 something posts. To me, I would still consider you a noob. You are also VERY young.
I can remember when I was 22 years old also. I knew everything and had the world by the B@LLS.
I know I am a noob with my Audi, BUT I do use the search feature when I need to find an answer.
I have been a member on several Cummins Diesel forums for several years with 1500+ posts.
I STILL ask noob questions over there. Half the time its when Im up to my elbows in grease and dont have the time to search.
JMO.
Another thing, the search feature on here is more difficult to navigate then most of the forums I hang out on.
