Lately it seems we have a lot of new members (Welcome!!!), and that many of these new members are not doing a simple search (http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/search.php?s=) or reading the FAQ (http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=33) before posting their questions. Please understand that most questions have been asked several times already, and that some long-time members get a little frustrated when a question gets asked that is in the FAQ or in a recent thread. If a member rudely replies about doing a search, please excuse their rudeness and follow their otherwise good advice.

That said, we have an opposite problem as well. Our long time members need to have more patience with our new members. Instead of getting upset when someone doesn't search (http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/search.php?s=) or read the FAQ (http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=33), please kindly do a quick search (http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/search.php?s=) for them and present them with a set of links to read. There's no need to be rude about it. Coming down hard on new members for something so trivial is doing nothing but turning people away. So from now on, I don't want to see people asking members to search without also including some links to apropriate threads.

Thanks!

i think one of the reasons that newbies such as myself would rather ask a question over searching is cause it gets us more involved with other members and talk with other members and get to know other people and make friends here. i agree that some of the older members do get unneccessarily rude about it too. just be nice and make friends is all i ask for.

Yep, its a good way to get to "know" people (as well as you can online) because everybody gives their opinions on things and updates on their lives, and what their favorite kind of puppy is...etc....etc.
