James,

I didn't say you were a "newbie". And, no, no one should be insulting your intelligence.

Moving on...I know Ram�n for some time in several forums. And one thing he will not intentionally do is provide misinformation. He generally gives good responses. And Buko (that is his real name) can be, admittedly, unconventional in his replies. Both have been long-time regulars in these forums and have provided much help to many others.

The forums are a community, and like any community, there will be folks you hit it off with and others you won't. Maybe, in your eyes, they don't always put on their best behavior, or act to your personal liking. Unless someone is truly offensive or misusing the forums, their right to roam these halls is intact. It's a fact of life in our community.

Our community does have "rules" for use. Part of this is the expectation that one has done some homework before posting a new topic. If you've done so and convey that, you'll get help, hopefully without RTFM.

But, just as there will be folks who will take the easy route and just post another version of an often-asked question, or appear to do so -- there will be those who will call them on that. That will not change here -- or, for that matter, in other forums you might visit. And the Adobe forums have a longtime reputation of being among the most friendly and helpful.

I've been a volunteer host for the forums for a very long time. Occasional lapses of manners -- real or perceived -- have always been present. That said, how would you suggest that this behavior be eliminated?
