anybody else notice this?

I'm a complete newbie here. But I don't think I've gotten a single mean reply to me except for Vicious and I had to prod that out of him. There's a difference between being new and being lazy. Being mean to someone just because they're new, I don't agree with. However, if a newbie walks in to somewhere, can see perfectly well the numerous FAQ's links and does not bother to read past threads to see if their question is posted there already and STILL asks their question, they are asking for trouble. If they have a question like "what is FX" when everyone else is talking about it, isn't it kind of a "duh" that it would already be explained somewhere? Obviously we didn't all know what that was from birth, we all had to learn somewhere. People just need to use common sense and most of the newbies that get nasty responses are the 50th person who have asked that same question in that same thread during a certain period of time, be it one day or a few.
