No, I am not assuming this in general and no I am not assuming that
in particular only NEW members are behaving like this.
If you look at the questions and the way they are asked you will
notice there are differences. This is not related to where people
come from or what their native language is (I'm no English native
either and I sometimes wish my skills in English would be greater so
that I could explain my thoughts in a more eloquent and focused way).
There are people who read the manual more than once and still
stumble - and the they ask here. And then there are other people
really just hammering the question right in their keyboard and press
return without even turning on their own brain.
If you read the posts here for a while you will probably notice the
small differences. As for me, to answer questions from the first
group is all right and those are the people you will see that they
improved their skills when they ask the next question on the group.
As for the seccond group, the next question is still asked in the
same manner, the next question too, ...
I'm not after the one who take seriously what they are doing, ok?
