They published an answer to his article in the January 2004 issue and he hasn't answered back. I agree the way a person is told to do a search can have a negative effect but if they can't get what they want by doing one, then the questions are the only way. I have spent most of today trying to get the search to work for me and Pete did it and found what I wanted. Yet when I typed in the exact same words all I got was a No Response found page.

I agree completely. I guess I wasn't so much suggesting that we hurt that particular guys feelings (the guy who wrote kit car), but that he was 'damaged goods' or damaged emotionally, before he even got here
For some people searches work, for some they don't. But the person won't know if they do or do not unless they try. Some don't even know the option is right there in front of them.
I think most here know me to be helpful. When a newbie posts a question that has hundreds of pages of information I welcome them and suggest a search. If that doesn't work for them or they still have questions, I encourage them to ask. What I don't like is some one that is not willing to help themselves. Fortuniatly, most given the oportunity will.
So yes, answer questions, but also educate them to what the forum can do for them. Hell I just figured out how to use the quote function a couple of months ago!
