TO ALL MEMBERS, ESPECIALLY NEW/RECENT FOLKS.............
Please, before you ask the same question that was asked last week, or recently, or even in the last year, try to search for your answer.
IF you don't have any luck then ask.
There is plenty of basic stuff in the archives, and even huge numbers of very extensively covered things abound on this site.
If you post a question that has been asked in the last few days, you "may" ruffle some feathers of some of us "old timers". <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I can only speak for myself here, but after answering the same question for the tenth time, I know that I start to wonder why I would bother to answer it yet again the very next day! There are many here with a vast ammounts of knowlege, and you can benifit from there time in the trenches so you don't want to get under there skin when you are not trying to. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

I know that I'm not the only one thinking this, but since I seem to be one of the most vocal with my keyboard, Here we go. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

Please re-post, or re-sticky the stuff on "how to search"
So people can try to use it to their advantage.
Anything that can/will help the members out is good.

LOL, I say the same thing to myself every time I see those FAQ type questions...

What Tire?
What Lift?
What options?
...
...
...

Don't get me wrong you new members... I welcome those questions regardless and I will answer them where I can and welcome you.

Just be sure to try and search for what you would "consider" the more obvious questions before you ask.

If you have problems with the search engine, just let me know. I'll be happy to help you through that beast myself.
(it's not a beast really, just very exacting and can be difficult if you're not used to being exacting with "syntax"...)

Oh, and don't let Kary's post "scare" you. Many can tell you that he and I have tangled on numerous occasions and I will be the first to say that I still greatly respect his knowledge & experience... even with all our disagreements. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

EDIT: How to search re-stickied & locked.

IF you need help with it further just PM me. Most will tell you I'm checking these forums throughout the day. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
