Baboon Boy, I have hardly ever said "use the search facility" whether it be in an "authoritative manner" or not, I do however while using the forum put a link to the sticky thread if the answer to a posters question is in there, it's called helping and is the point of a forum surely and must be a better response than no reply at all, as for your example I posted a link to the age thread that at the time was three threads down from the original question, it takes about 2 seconds to direct someone to the link, wheres the issue?
