Reply to "Forum Etiquette Help for New Members"

Manny, thanks for your observations and question.  If the forum consensus truly is that the majority doesn't want these suggestions to be more than a bunch of old posts that few pay no attention to, then I will gladly drop it.

To answer your question: what you refer to as a hard push, I consider to be simply trying to answer the questions raised about this topic as they are asked.  My original reasons for making the suggestion are based on observations that many of the long time members have grown frustrated (based on their Posts, replies and/or lack thereof) with other posters who don't follow the generally accepted expectations, and that these expectations may not become clear to new members for a long time after joining the forum, if at all.  I've also noticed that at least half of the requests for help, rarely have enough useful information in the original post for someone else to actually help the requestor without asking a bunch of questions that are very similar from one instance to the next.

I don't care for heavy handed rules, I'm just hoping for a easy to find resource which concisely outlines some of the generally accepted expectations for posting.  If there are no further questions or interest, I will allow this Topic to fade away.
