I know, since I'm still kind of a newbie, I did the same thing. :-(
But than I started searching the forum and found really good info about most of the things I wanted/needed to know. So, you are right, and....... I'm sorry ;-)
I'm getting a little bit anoyed by al the IRC questions too.

So, a little tip for all the newbies, browse around the forum, you will find the info you'll need. And you can get to now the other members by reading their posts ( well, a little )

For as long as forums have been around, there has always been newbies that ignores sticky posts. It's just something every forum owner has to deal with.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I feel like a broken record repeating myself so many times, answering the exact same questions over and over again! For this reason, I make a point of not answering questions that have already been asked hundreds of times. I continue to reply if there is a question that really sticks out of the bunch though. {up} I don't think new members will ever get the point of stickies, or follow the rules before posting. This topic will just get buried beneath the rest of the bunch... :neutral:

Khackdrums :D

There have been a lot of questions lately about IRC's and how much postage to include, what an SASE is etc. Please remember to read the stickies located at the top of the board. They may just give you the answer you're looking for and you won't have to wait for responses ;-) So please, remember before posting to read all the sticky posts at the top of this board before asking and if you're still unsure, feel free to ask away :D
