I agree with what you said Ken, and I have to say you said it well. To respond to others generally I'd like to point out that some of you seem to be a little touchy because you might be assuming I (or others) mean that we should be cold and harsh and that we should yell at those who ask these simple questions or yell at anyone who asks any question from the manual. That's just ridiculous (I mean, I'm agreeing that such behavior would be ridiculous) and that's not what we're about.
If you really want to understand my argument, look at my posts to the forum the first few weeks of the last season. Many were on threads like "I'm Missing Stuff!" or "Missing Parts" or "Stop Posting Needless Stuff." My point is that every year many of us are bothered by repeat posts for simple problems and I am thinking we might try to fix this somehow. That post about how I'm convinced it won't work (so why try?) was confusing. I'm not convinced it won't work but I'm convinced it would have to be incredibly short. Something like "read the manual first, please, and then perform a search on the forums before posting." If they can't read as much as that, then they won't enjoy reading one of my posts
But I'm not hyping this idea...it's just an idea.
To be clear, again - I don't mind answering those posts I'm whining about. If you look at my replies, I politely reference the manual promptly after their post. They had an answer and were on their way. Good. Glad to help. But what we can do to encourage people to read the manual...I don't know. I just agree that it's the right way to start off the season and am frustrated looking for a solution.
