Yes. Kind of very weird.
No. It's not annoying. I'm not annoyed by questioners.
What is annoying are those who get upset and think they need to cough up and "take educational action" because many who are here for the first time and don't know their way around here have the same questions and don't know themselves that they are not the only ones who have this question.
Well, I'm kinda new here as a forum-user.
And even to me, reading threads about games, I felt like I just wanted to scream at my monitor, because people just wouldn't read, or check out links, obviously redirecting them to the answer to their question.
I admire your steadfastness in this thread, giving advice, offering solutions to self-made problems, or just not looking down on people who can't read, or understand what they read, or follow simple instructions.
But I'm not that kind of person.
These questions, answered a hundred times over already, would bother me. And they do! I read threads from the beginning, usually, and reading five people, asking the same question on the SAME PAGE, did make me question their capacity of critical thinking and decision-making, more times than I would like to recount.
But I just don't reply to those. I gain nothing by acting like they are below me.
