I observe a bizarre trend of telling new members "Hey, you lazy, have you read FAQ?" or some other not so friendly replies. I don't think that will make too many people want to come back to this board. To me, that sort of answers usually get interpreted as elitist attiutde. That partly explains a recent outbreak of arguments.
The reason this happens is that so many new people join everyday, and they all make the same posts! "What is an HK?" "How can this be so cheap?" "When is *insert series here* coming out?" After a while it gets to be an annoyance. So people (myself included) may snap at a "noob" every once in a while. If some of these guys just used their heads a little bit before posting, they would realize that their questions have already been answered.
