If it werent for the traffic and constant flow of new users.. there would be no community, there would be no BlackBerryForums.com, so eventhough it might get annoying seeing those thread titles.. just ignore them. Its better to keep that person around, as they may become useful for some purpose down the road.. then scare them away right away.

I agree. A lot of times when I come here and read a thread from a new member, there are only 2 posts. One from the newbie asking what may seem like a dumb question to those of us who have been using BlackBerry for years, and one from a long time member replying "search for...". I admit, I have been using a BlackBerry off and on for 4 years and I am still learning things I never knew about it. I would be scared too if someone answered my question with "search for..." because, to me, that's not answering my question or offering the help I need to understand how my BB works.
I have seen people who get their first BB and only months later are able to help othes. I have a friend who has only been using a BlackBerry for 2 months and now he's helping other BB newbies. This is because people helped him understand how his BB works.
I hope I don't offend anybody by venting like this but I just wanted to get this off my chest.
