Damnit, if I didn't love this board so damn much I'd leave.

Just tell me why you're being so closed-minded? My idea is very simple:

*See a newb post that you don't want to answer? Ignore it! The post count will remain 0 and it will drop off the page quickly. When searched it will come up 0 and we won't even have to bother clicking.

*Anyone who feels inclined to do so, answer the question, and perhaps link or suggest using the search so as to have the double role of educating the newb and helping clean up our knowledge base

Remember, I'm not saying you should ANSWER EVERY QUESTION, simply that you refrain from posting at all, rather than post with only the intent to flame.
