is what I am hearing more these days.
I've had my newbie days with posts that garnered no response just because (a) subject beaten to death (b) no one knows about it (c) buried in the fast moving pace of the forum (d) not enough time has elapsed for others to notice the post (e) I am a paranoid freak who must be treated like the most important person in the world...
It seems like people (especially new members) expect you to answer questions (often right away) when asked because this is a "forum" and when they don't get answers that they are satisfied with, they assume no one's helpful or everyone's ignorant.
I've learned a lot on headfi by being helped my other members AND spending hours searching for answer in this mountain pile of information, and tried to give back as well.
I know asking questions without doing research is much easier to do as I am guilty of this as well but don't blame others for your laziness and trying to shortcut when you don't get helpful answers.
