<on stump> So when someone first signs up for a Forum they should already know where the archive is rather than ask a question that they couldn't find the answer to after exhausting the normal resources (manual, KB, and other documentation provided with the product)? I think not. Rather than tell them to look it up either point them to the answer, answer their question, or ignore it. This is an open exchange of information and if you don't think questions should be asked what would be the point of having this forum. I am pretty sure that everyone here asked a question that was already in the archives at one time or another especially when they first joined this forum. I for one subscribe to get a question answered and will probably ask it on my first post expecting an answer which I don't think is asking too much
