First, I'd like to thank everyone who posted answers to my question.

StarBux,
I didn't have anyone in mind when I started this thread. In fact, it was in response to having read a couple of threads that I had NOT contributed to, but realized the original posted had never chimed back in. (And your "Thanks in advance" and similar endings to posted questions suffice as far as I'm concerned.)

Maybe I'm just unhappy with the general state of etiquette today, and on the internet in particular.

sdt22,
I don't mind answering questions in the least. In fact, virtually ALL of my time here is spent in 2 Forums, "Beginners" and "Questions and Answers", with a bit more in "Tips and Techniques" and "Kit Building".

The "trouble" I was referring to was primarily the 2 or 3 dozen times I've answerewd the same questions about trainers, finding a club and instructor, how to break in an engine, and the like. But I still respond kindly, seldom suggest they do a search, and usually welcome them whole-heartedly to RCU and RC flight.

So yeah, you did offend me a bit.

Montague & nukes,
I have trouble shutting up too. Guess that's WHY I've responded so often to the same questions. :stupid:

hookedonrc,
I don't think I've seen 5% of questions here go unanswered. I will sometimes ONLY respond by asking for more info, but....

David,
Are you saying that some perceive this to be a site like "Ask Jeeves"? Just kidding, maybe you have a point.

All in all, I'm not upset about it at all, and I honestly can't think of a particular time that I didn't get a "thanks". Maybe I was bored and just threw out the question because it came to me. I don't know.

Thanks again all.
Dennis-
