Ok, this is another stupid question your probably not going to like but 
let me start off I do understand that your an old timer tired of the 
same old questions that you asked "Prolly" when you were a newbe & to be 
honest about it I was going to ask that same question but that person 
beat me to it. So to help me learn a heck of a lot more a lot faster why 
don't you give me that link(s) to what ever faq & other searchable info 
we have ( note the only place I've ever been to sc before coming here 
was the button to make a donation (ie: buy MEGS(FUEL)whatever) & I click 
the link when I get the email that it's ready for me to go hit the next 
couple of buttons so that's my association with SC.
Now if you will baby me & hand me those link(s) that I need to get the 
job done then for what ever it's worth to you since you don't know me 
I'll give you my word that for a period of NO less then 3 months 
starting from the time I receive the links. I will personally answer 
every newbie question that I catch & if I don't catch it you have my 
full permission to chew me out publicly, also email me with the subject 
that I missed the question & I will answer the question asap so that you 
don't have to mess with it except for correcting me when I miss read 
something & screw it up.

Again I'm new here & don't know whats going on. & Maybe I'm out of line 
& somebody is going to do a killfile on me (whatever the hell that 
is)BUT Man you folks are hard on us new folks BUT I do understand that 
some of you folks don't want to baby feed us. That I really do But the 
fact remains that your always going to have new folks asking the same 
damn questions no mater how many places you post it because some of us 
are just babies. So with all that said the offer is there up to you to 
say yes or no or just ignore me like IMHO you should do with the newbie 
questions if you don't want to deal with them.

Again For the record I do understand how you feel & I'm not saying you 
are wrong in any way shape or form, I've been there & done that myself. 
I'm just trying to say if something is wrong & you don't want to deal 
with us then don't, from what I've seen of this group someone will. 
Eventually.
