While posts can occasionally be a waste of time, I think the right
approach is to reply to any post that isn't outright spam with a polite
reply. It doesn't need to be lengthy. Not everyone is going to ask an
"interesting" question but I think everyone deserves basic courtesy. We
were all beginners once and we have all been helped into the correct
path at some point by people who knew more about something than we did.
If experienced people had simply given the cold shoulder to everyone who
knew less than they did, none of us would know as much as we now do,
including you. |
