	title of this thread your message In answer to Dashes' most recent question: whats the problem with ID questions: There is nothing inherently wrong, but I think a number of factors affect why some react the way they do. Issues with Newbies: 1) Lots of people assume ALL MCM/Modern design must be designed by someone famous. To those who know otherwise it can be tiresome to be constantly asked about anonymous designs. 2)Using DA as a first resort. (see #1 below also) Any design book will do a decent job separating the wheat from the chaff. A little research is better than the seemingly lazy "ID Please" 3)There are postings that just smack of profiteering. Some folks are more apt to help out a poor student who made a miracle find than an established dealer eeking out more dough by adding a brand name. Issues with Old Salts 1) lots of the knowledge here is very specialized. It can be seen as a waste of time & energy to deal with 'petty' questions. 2) Some posters want, as they should be allowed, to have cerebral discussions. It can be disheartening to someone wishing a meta discussion to see a forum flooded with amateur questions. Caveat - not every poster has to weigh in on every discussion. 3) A forgetfulness that knowledge needs to come from somewhere. We all started by asking the same questions. A little flexibility, humility, and respect on both sides should be encouraged. And definitely a sense of humor. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
