I'm not quite sure that insulting him was the correct response, especially from a moderator. Of course that's only my opinion.

Pretty cleary read it that way too - why are people now falling over each other rehashing old questions? Dear god, this is beyond embarrassment!

(or have I missed something)

- late edit: my support of the above quote went as far as the 1st line - I was not endorsing bashing moderators!

If that was aimed at me let me explain as I have asked questions that may well have been answered before.

First I completely agree with Oleg's comments and he may well have had my questions in mind. These Friday updates are too full of unhelpful, even irrelevant, junk and ping-pong insults that have little to with with Oleg's information or his intentions in posting the thread.

The previous Friday I was ranting, I admit, along just Oleg's lines. The thread was 90 pages long for god's sake. In it were possibly 20 relevant pages.

"Not really a big deal to check Oleg's previous answers. "
It is if there are an unknown number of threads to search especially when they can be each 40-90 pages long. It just isn't possible and picking the right words for a Search to bring them back is hit and miss and has not brought me previous questions or answers I am looking for. Sometimes its just necessary to ask the question. We haven't all been reading every thread since SoW was first discussed. There will always be people looking in who have not seen and can't find what they are looking for.

If no-one wants to answer me then I'll just have to live with it but as Oleg says, if someone knows the answer then just give it. Insulting or flaming a questioner or question, even an unwitting old one, is not what the forum is about. It's supposed to be informative and mutually helpful.

"A true FAQ or WIKI you would think would work."
If Only! There is no one place I know of where Oleg's answers are collected.

So, does anyone know the answers to my questions? (I already know about Tessellation.)

I did not believe that I was bashing anyone, but obviously I don't know what that means, or I simply misunderstood the tone of said post. (which is the most likely scenario)
