I am a very new person to mining, And I have been using this site, partly because everything is directed here, and reading a lot while I research. I had not joined but gained a little bit of knowledge here. But this thread made me want to join and post my opinion.

Please before you read farther, if you get your pannies in a bunch when someone puts the blatant obvious truth in your face, I deeply encourage you to just move on to the next thread, I am sure I will ruffle some sleeves in my post. I am a very honest person.

I have to agree with the original poster. Sometimes even the attitudes of the posters on some of these forums I go to are just not right. Threads that should be easily answered by long time miners are left alone for months at a time, if they ever even do get answered at all. Some threads asking for help with easy codes that can be copied and pasted are not done but given a run around about everything but the code the OP needed. It really honestly does seem as tho people in this industry want to discourage new comers. Sometimes you get a good answer that seems genuine, I see a few in here, but most of the time I have even told myself what the OP made this thread about.

Now to give how I feel about the thread, Bottom line, when a member asks how to do something and we will pick a super great thread with a perfect set up, lets say i post I am getting 900KH/s and I want to solo mine, can someone help me set this up thru GUIminer please. Or tell me how I can get BFGminer or CGMiner to work with my AMD A6 tri core Radeon Processor.

The first 10 posts or more are going to say Dont do it, your wasting your time, forget about it, but the honest truth is it doesnt help him do what he wants to do and that is not what he asked. So these respondents to him are either deterring him to accomplish a goal he had in mind, or dont know the codes and information to give him to answer his question and are just trolling the forum to add posts to their profile or genuinely feel he may be wasting his time.

Unfortunately his questions did not ask anywhere what is your opinion on if I have enough computing power to be successful, nor did he ask for your thoughts, he asked for your help. To me that means regardless of your opinion he will search until he can get the help he needs, and by answering him with a one liner you just wasted his and your time.

Lets say these posts are correct and he is wasting his time, So what, is it your power, is it your time hes wasting, you felt the need to waste his andwith your one liner.

Heres some advice, the proper answer to his question would have been to give him the info he asked for if you had it, then  warn him of his options. but let him make the decision.

The bottom line is you can mine with the smallest amount of hashing power and you have a "chance" to make money. Will it be a substantial amount, who knows you dont know and I dont know, that's the great thing about Mining bitcoins, if everyone knew exactly which block it was and how to get it first this rat race would not exist. He absolutely has a tiny tiny tiny chance to hit that 1 block that contains those 25 sweet coins, you dont even know if he will do it in the first 10 seconds hes mining. so why not just give him the answer he is looking for or like other posts just not answer him at all.

Situations like these are what made me wonder if people are trying to deter solo mining and new comers, because if you look at some charts of found blocks, and who it was that found them, you will see Unknown is only 3rd on the list on a lot of charts I looked at, and a good portion of unknown represents solo miners.
