Well maybe it's just about getting to know how to navigate this site. Not everybody is computer litterate.

What I think is needed is a stickied thread at the top of the forum, that has a link to [i]all]/i] the common (& less common) problems, each link pointing to a thread with a definitive answer!
Example: search for "LKM", the amount of threads it throws back is just silly to trawl through the whole lot! - no wonder newbs get confused, and just ask anyway..
I don't bother asking Q's 'cos I have far too much time on my hands, and don't care about reading eleventy billion threads to fix my interior light, or whatever - likelyhood is, the light will stay fooked anyway!
What about a Volvo Brandon?
Totally agree ... As a newbie I have asked some sane questions on a newbie level and got s**t for answers ... I deal with a quite a number of forums (broad interests) and I must say that there are some unhelpful types lurking around here only trying to be smart ... Luckely as in normal life the majority is helpful.

the answer to most questions will have been asked at some point in some area using certain wording on this website and others, should you have the time to spend looking for it
The whole point of this site is to get quick information about something, rather as spending 3 hours looking up something that could be answered by a knowledgable person on here in minutes.
If you find that task of giving too hard then just sit back and absorb the information, no one will think the worse of you for doing so..

Nicely said. Now fill out your profile, billy!
Ya, a major part of signing onto a forum is the exchange of thoughts and idea's. The interaction of people from around the world with a common interest. If this was just a information source like wikipedia with no interaction of people, I'd find a new place. Infact, I'm looking for one now. With crabby old guys chasing newb's off every chance they get, this will be a gost forum in no time.
I'm on several other boards. The 914club.com is by far the nicest group of people I've met. The board is run on a garage type forum. You can discuss all kinds of things related or not related to the little car. Some of you crabby old dudes could take some Geritol and learn something about being friends from the 914 guys.For most of use, this is an escape from other A holes we have to deal with face to face on a daily basis. Maybe I'm all wrong here, but I actually enjoy working on cars. If I ask a newb question and you don't want to answer, don't. Have a nice holiday everyone!

One newbie tip I'm surprised I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is to go to Bruno's E34 site http://www.bmwe34.net/ & read through the Maintenance, Upgrades & Troubleshooting catagories. This site is invaluable to any E34 owner & should be required reading before posting questions about mechanical problems.
