That was so tacky. Rude as hell. So new users that find this site formidable are idiots and *****s?! They don't need a cellphone?! This is classic apathetic behavior, and that's the stigma around here from the word around the Symbian community that coud easily be fixed with a little empathy and manners. We can read, you know? I'm sure you probably meant it in jest, but it isn't funny if you're the one referred to. I fight for the little guy everyday, and i don't like the elite attitudes that flow around here.


I'm sorry that you thought that was an elite attitude. I consider it a realistic attitude. We live in an age where information is more available than at any other time in the history of mankind. All it takes is the exertion of a small amount of effort to LOOK for it, this can be as simple as typing 1-5 words into a search bar. The growing trend, however, is to not even bother exerting THAT amount of work and simply starting a new thread asking a question that has been asked and answered many times before, people want things handed to them on a silver platter. That clutters up the boards and pushes threads of more importance out.

So excuse me if I have no tolerance for that. I grew up in an age where information had to be worked for. Google.com was something I would have KILLED for. I don't think we are doing ourselves, nor the new thread posters any favours by pandering to their every whim. As you say "We can read, you know" I suggest they start by reading the results of a simple search.

Edit: I am a new user and I managed just fine when I got here, does that make me smarter than others? or does it mean they were just less inclined to put in any effort to figure it out?
