for some reason just because some really nice people who ar emembers on this site have on a pretty regular basis have helped people out of their goodness are now expected to continue to be an eternal resource for others who just can not be bothered to try a little work themselves. I dont count myself as part of those friendly folf Im too crotchety but I know I dont mind answering the people who have said they have tried searching as I do those that ask the most basic question that can be found in multiple threads.

I beleive though by telling them to try the search they will learn the search and be able to help themselves and not expect others to just keep answering their questions.
