I get the joke but that doesn't mean I find it funny.
FWIW I am a member on a woodworking board. When a newby shows up and asks a question that has been asked a bazillion times, the response is "welcome to the best dang forum on the internet". Their question gets answered with a gentle direction towards the search function. IOW they make it a point to prove they are a great group of folks willing to share their knowledge and insight.
I don't know, maybe it's because they are dealing with a hobby while this place is more about the job. Either way, it is disheartening to me how new folks can be treated on this board.
For those of you who don't suffer fools gladly; do you suppose someone who already knew everything would come here? People are asking you because they believe that you can help them. They ask with respect for your collective knowledge and the response is disrespectful!?!?! To me it seems like no response makes more sense than sarcasm, bitterness and mean replies. But then, that's how my momma raised me.
