I agree 100%. All too often people just reply with "Search before you post" with a link and it always sounds very harsh to me. Honestly, I find the "Search before you post" people to be way more annoying (and rude) than the newbies asking simple questions.
To those who love to slam people with "Search before you post": maybe you should think twice before you reply too. If someone came up to you at a competition and asked you how many points a tetra on a goal was worth, would you snap back at them, "Read the manual!" I hope not.
