Thanks Dee! I noticed the same thing about forums in general. The people with very high post counts are (usually) constantly doing several things:
1. replying to almost every noobie post by complaining about how their question has already been asked
2. heavily trolling said noobie posts, trying to get them to leave the forum because they are afraid of change
3. calling the noob himself/herself a troll if they sound anywhere near intelligent
4. lashing out at the noob when the noob lashes out at the trouble that THEY instigated in the first place
5. spraying their verbal diarrhea (arrogance and pomposity) all over the place
Regarding #1, if it was against forum rules to post anything that had already been posted, the life expectancy of any forum would be measured in months.
Regarding this topic in general, it's just the nature of forums. It's not just here. Already someone has had one of their replies to my OP deleted.
Thank God for people like you on forums!
