One thing that you have to understand about posting on ANY forum is that if you want helpful advice, you gotta do your own homework first.. so you can be more informed when you ask. Secondly, whenever someone says, "search the forums" it's usually because the question has been asked many times in the past.

Think of it as if you went to a buffet restaurant and you asked the waitress for something that was already on the buffet. More than likely she would tell you where it was, however, if it wasn't on the buffet, she would go get it for you.
yeah your right. I just can't help thinking,( And please others reply) this and other forums have been around a long time, and let's say a post is 2 years old. Then it's been getting the "asked before" for many months. Do we not think that a heavily experienced scrapper, that's new to the forum, probably WON'T dig up old posts to reply to and share their knowledge. That's why I am throwing the "you don't have to reply to repeats, but maybe they have some purpose" That's all.
