While, I do agree that we were all once "newbies", for someone to make their first post a "HELP ME" post, takes a back seat for me.
Whenever I get into something new and confusing, I take the time to read, read and more reading, not just beg for help. Then, to not even come back to the thread after starting it, and not even following up with a "thanks", seems rude to me.
Although I'm not new to rooting, I was when I first got my Optimus. I had rooted my previous phones, but the Optimus, and most others I guess, tend to have a few things different from the rest.
To get to our forums, someone at some point, did a search from a web site. They read it there, why not when you enter a new forum?
Post a greeting, and settle down to a great bunch of people who will be more than willing to help, unless your post is, "HELP. Can't get my phone to work" without posting ANYTHING on what you've already done, baseband, rom, kernel, recovery and such.
There will always be someone who is willing to repeat suggestions, tips, stickies and such, but maybe a gentle nudge from a moderator to review forum policies would also go a long way.
Stickies are your best friends.
And before I forget, another thanks for everyone that has helped me the last few months.
