>completely useless post about how you should use google/look harder etc etc. c*nt
For good reason.
The accepted (n)etiquette for many/most forums *is* to search first (forum search/google etc) – the (noob) idea that you just lob in the first question that comes to mind may be treated with anything from sarcasm to outright flaming – or just ignored. In fact, this forum's pretty easy-going in that respect.
The point is to keep the 'signal to noise' ratio down – ie repeated posts of the same old shite don't need to clutter the board. In the same way there's a requirement on the STW classifieds to post items as a group, not singly. Posted singly, all the other posts slide off the bottom of the current page, and you have to go through several pages to cover just a day's ads, for example.
On many forums there are 'stickies' to cover the most common things – if STW had them, probably 'stuck seatpost' might be amongst them !
Oh, and calling someone a c*nt for simply reminding you to use google is a bit bloody rude. Grow up.
