Shroddie, I thought it pretty much was automated, certainly feels like an automatic reaction to me!  |
Not just you mellowman! |
What you both fail to realise is that with auto-generated newbie "Read the FAQ!!!" messages, SST wouldn't be quite the place that it is now.
Personally, I think part of the charm of the forums is that Cocles takes the time out to personally craft a disparaging remark for each and every newbie that asks a dumb question. You just don't find that attention to detail at other websites any more! |

Juan, I don't think either of us failed to realise anything!
Shroddie was making a comical observation and I was just pointing out that whenever a newbie makes an intial post somebody always tends to point them towards the FAQs. I don't think anyone woulde really want to see an automated post to a newbie's first post (although it probably save some typing time, eh Cocles, Cal et al.  )
Having said that I agree with the your comment about the craft with which Cocles goes about his work - truly a person who cares a great deal about his job! |

And that's just it. I do it because I care.
There is nothing more important to me than compassion, tolerance, and love for my fellow man. |

lol.
This is funny because it's true.
From a certain point of view, that is.
Everyone benefits from the entertainment value of the newbie education process. |
