ya you are right. beginners should be told to search the forums, but its not quite easy to go thru the forums. if any beginner tries to go thru he will only go thru casually and might not get wat he want. but i think moderators and other members are helpful enough to guide him to go to appropriate topic, which is i think the speciality of this site only. in other sites no one bother to answer any question. keep it up.
