Why, when the purpose is right there ? (Hint: What you've quoted

Not that rubbish again!

Always search for existing answers _before_ posting.

Thank you for your help.

It's too bad that you expend so much of your energy trying to dissuade
people from actually asking questions in this news group.

Be a mentor if you have the answers. If you think the questions are below
you, don't answer.

Wrong. Dissuading people from asking frequently asked questions, and
encouraging them to do research beforehand, are _good_ things.

SS> Be a mentor if you have the answers.

When you've been around a bit longer and have perhaps tried giving a bit
instead of merely taking all of the time, you'll realise the values of (a)
encouraging people to find out answers for themselves by searching what has
already been written before posting, (b) discouraging the idea that those of
us who know things are here for the sole purpose of freely answering the
questions from those who do not (again and again) without attempting in any
way to get people to educate themselves, (c) not attacking the people who
freely provide you with the complete and detailed answers to your questions.
