This board exists to help out fellow hobbyists. I have no problem helping people with situations time and time again. If it were the same person, then I would have an issue, but this site has new members every single day. They don't know where to look or how to post. I was in agreement with you while first reading this, then you start talking about why you wouldn't want to read someone else's post. That isn't helpful to the boards at all. If this thread didn't contain the negativity then it may have made sticky. As it is, it does not.
Agree here. Have seen this kind of post, someone trying to help out the new and old members, trying to get new people to post up all the answers to the questions they may be asked up front. I have not seen it work anywhere. New people aren't going to read this post, first they probably wouldn't even know to look for it, they are going to dive in with their question. Doesn't mean it isn't a good idea though. To Sep's point about the not wanting to read someones post I agree with her here too. Not the stuff stickies are made of.
