Kalpak,

Unfortubnately the link you mentioned about Lisa's posting is not active. Perhaps the posting has been deleted by administrator.

I agree to your idea of teaching/guiding the newbies "How to ask for help". I never meant that such queries be neglected. My statement (in my opinion) applies to the following.

1) A person who does neglect the advices and keeps going on to ask and ask and ask......
2) Those who are too lazy to search the forum or FAQ (even after being directed to do so)
3) Some known chaps who change names and ask same questions again and again. (can we call them a newbie when one of them changes name?)

and there are some other cases as well.

As Eric is sick of SMS, I am sick of changing identites. If were to neglect newbies, I didn't had 1000+ postings.(some of them might be useful for some persons, not all the postings)

PS: Opinion of one person might seem negative for many others. No one can force you to think his/her way.
