I'll agree, 99.9% of FT'ers want to help others. Some times it sounds like people are short, but usually it's because someone wants a quick answer with out any effort being put into it. Most of us learned by reading, reading and reading. I just had one were I pointed out to a ft new poster that the answer was 3 posts above his? I tried to do it in a helpful way and hopefully he got the message to read the thread a little before posting. Also some people are very knowledgeable about a subject and I've seen them post many times the same answer to 10 different readers who missed the first 9 answers. I thank those people because they helped me alot when I started here and I got the message.
