Sternjaeger, i understand the repetition gets you annoyed, it annoys me too. On the other hand, if we go about "shouting" at the new-comers for not knowing how the place works they just get a sour taste and no positive experience from their first exchanges in the forum, which leads to a continuation of this trend.
If on the other hand we just tell them "the short answer is X, but please use the forum search as this has been talked about before" they are more likely to do something similar when another new poster appears with the same question, thus reducing the overall levels of repetition and taking over the burden of "teaching" the forum's netiquette from us
No offense meant, after all a lot of times i agree with what you say and you also have useful stuff to share due to your real-life experience with warbirds. I'm just saying that if we "hold their hand" through for a couple of posts they will probably get the meaning of how this place work even easier. Cheers
