Everyone here can be assumed to be smart

Many of the questions posted here by newbies would seem to fly in the face of that statement. Then when you have the occasional ignorant douchecanoe of a noob who flies off into a sandy-vagina impotent net-rage because someone dares to tell him "go look it up, man, there's a few metric fark-tonnes of info out there!", or the more-than-occasional persistently dumb noob who gets his thread locked/deleted, and then immediately creates another thread with almost exactly the same question, just worded differently, etc, and you might begin to understand why forum vets are sometimes a little testy when a noob asks the same question that's already been asked (and answered) in 4 threads on the first page of the newbie board.

Most noobs seem to want a turnkey bitcoin moneymaking program. "tell me where i can download a program that'll make me 10 bitcoins a day with my laptop!" kind of B.S. or they start mining without doing any reading at all, and then come on the forums to bitch and moan about how they are making almost nothing with their nVidia GPU, or CPU mining on their laptop... at which point they get all ignorant and abusive when told that the ship has sailed on cpu and gpu mining, and the devices that CAN mine effectively will take months to deliver if they order right now. They don't want to hear that bitcoin mining is a marathon, they want it to be a sprint to that 25BTC reward, and when they find out it's not a get-rich-quick-and-buy-that-new-gold-plated-buttplug scheme, they get their panties in a twist.

Nothing news here... it is the same in all forums I have been participating for years. I don't complain, and since there is no way to prove you are an experienced user and know the netiquette, got to be patient... and participate.
Come one, those 4 hours that never ever come!!!
