thank for all your kind comments.
Yes it was a little harsh - but it was factual and concise; lets examine what I said:
"If u cant be bothered to even use the search key" - actually true; as stormtrooper guys post lists up (see post #14), if you had used the search function on here or on the internet you would have got loads of information on SFP and reasons to avoid. So the very act of asking a question that has been answered many times before implies that, well no searching was done. There is no word in the OP about having done some VERY basic research. I stand to be corrected if this isnt true.
"stop asking stupid questions and wasting thread space" - again as the rest of the posters have shown, it is both a stupid question and a waste of thread space. I refer again to stormtrooper guys excellent guide to using the internet search function. Do we really need yet another thread on that paedophile (alleged) recasting POS? But then again - its just an opinion. And like an arsehole, everyone has one.
In the interest of others who cant be bothered to do it themselves either -
Let me google that for you
as for the rest of the comments - at no point in my post did I hurl personal insults or vitriol at the original poster. No hostility was included. Just the facts. Yes this forum is about sharing information. Yes its about learnign from the experience from others. I have personally learnt lots from threads by StormtrooperGuy, Dougie Fett, even jinto recent posts. It certainly isn't about not doing your homework and expecting others to hand you information on a silver platter.
Unfortunately, for the people who cant be bothered to do the simple search wont find this thread teaching you how to run a search - rofl. You just gotta laugh dont you.
Elitism? Where did that come from? Hell ask other members, I have been more than helpful in the past. I certainly have not been mollycoddling or hand-holding. You want to do that - I got no problem.
I know Brian and I disagree on a few things, but he is a great guy and a fantastic builder. I do have to agree with his statement:
There is a growing culture of asking others for help instead of researching. Not just here... everywhere, in everything.
I see that with increasing creep in my work, shame to see it creeping in here too. Any Junior Doctor on my rounds who hasnt even done his/her basic research and homework gets the same statement. It isnt said in anger. It isnt said in condescenind tone. It is just said, as a statement of fact (obviously without the thread part).
this will be my last post on this thread. the 2 points I was trying to get across obviously have (1)SFP bad (2)learn to use the search key.
anyone else wishing to insult me - please feel free to do so in pm.
