I think that if the newbie is intelligent in studies or work, then he wont just jump on creating a new thread as soon as they open a account and ask a regular question about the forum, as their are so many pinned thread in beginners and help and other sections where if they take some time to surf and get knowledge then they wont ask like this silly questions.
Here only they newbie are getting question who just open the thread and run away without following it.
Right, some of newbies are intelligent enough and doesnt intend to ask question since he knows already that it might be posted somewhere else and thats the time he learns for himself in just using the search button it really doesnt hurt for someone to use that search button but most of people dont know how to use it rather than they choose to make redundant threads which already been asked and been answered in this forum.
