possibly you have not answered the same question 1000 times. i have referenced many to the search function, because in all actuality, that is what should be done to start with and there should not present the need for somebody to even have to say that. so the fact that you would think its bad, or impolite to suggest that one would utilize the search feature of a site, clearly says that you have not answered many questions. maybe the new user is not even aware of a search function, and if you have see more read some of these posts, and post titles, i.e. i need help, my site dont work, database error. these are thread titles that i typically try to ignore, because if you consider the time it takes to ask for relative information to even decipher what the person is trying to express, its faster and easier to let them know that a search function exists.
