Why do noobs ask so many questions?

I know what you mean. It can be a bit annoying when someone asks you questions over & over. But people like that don't really want to help themselves..... they would much rather someone does all the leg work & they get the benefits.
If someone asks me something, I'll set them up with good info to get them to the next step..... but more often than not, I get them coming back asking the same questions because they didn't follow what I said before. These are the annoying ones, because they don't see the obvious answers for themselves.

thank you,finally someone who understands and can give a related answer.
What about..... "I threw some seeds from a bag of compressed Mexican shwag into some dirt from my backyard and now they have popped out of the soil. What strain are they and how much will they yield?"
it's gonna be some late finishing sativa. you will yield between a 1/4 lb and a pound if started in june.

Fuck you, too, 40!I want it to be known that i cant hardly stand any of you, like even less of you,and am still more than happy to help with new growers probs. We have all been there. We should all be thankful that there is a place for the new growers to go and talk and ask for advice.
If we all stopped and checked for unanswered posts once in a while, even if we all only did one a day, we would be helping quite a few fellow growers that need it.
Sorry, that was a TOTAL non sequitur.

guess because what you said before that made no sense to me ^^ and prob. to no one else... or maybe evryone's afk ^^"HELLO? Why hasn't anyone answered my stealth question? This site sucks. Nobody helps. You guys suck!
Think of it yourself
We all start somewhere and being rude and burning new members with questions is bad for the site and not what smoking is all about which is helping each other and promoting it, the information is great but people get stuck along the way and do need help with many differant thing's, they just want what we all want big healthy plants, more knowledge and feeling satisfied with there harvest. And in turn when they know what their doing they will be helping others then, it makes the site and community go around and we should encourage it.

Still no excuse to be lazy, And I never said that newbie's are not allowed to ask questions, some questions are not on faq's, Those are the questions you should be asking, the ones that are not on every grow book/site FAQ.
Tell me where is the logic in typing up a thread and ask your question so a "HUMAN" can answer and wait a couple hours or even a day (Ok, sometimes you get lucky and respond within minutes but how often is that when you are in dire neeed) or typing in a search box and getting your answer almost right away, maybe a bit of searching but still get your answer almost right away and learn a few other things when searching your original problem? I mean there are so many sections and sub-sections with search functions. And some still can't post in the right sections to boot!
I still stand by, " a 1st time grower such have enough info for there 1st grow until they hit there 1st nutrient defeciencies". Not to be confused with defeciencies caused by not enough light or growing in clear transparent containers or even not watering your plant properly and creating dry pockets in the medium. You think these people have read when they do shit like this?One of MY favorite is, "how do you know if its a male or female? and when every single frickin book and grow faq in the world has detailed pics and descriptions almost right in the beginning right after germination or vegetation section. Even seed catalogs tell you how/the best way to germinate and distinguish male or female. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! HUNNY, GET MY SHOTGUN!!!! WASTE OF A THREAD! Yes, you are right, they read, they read how to piss people off and waste internet space with bullshit questions.
And yes, I was a newbie but never a NOOB! big difference and a half. And since I said I WAS a "newbie" does not mean I am a pro now and know it all but, I do know how to grow,dry and cure pot that doesn't look and taste like shit.
THIS IS NOT TO PEOPLE ASKING REAL QUESTIONS AND NOT BULLSHIT QUESTIONS.
DOWN WITH NOOBS!!!! GO NEWBIES GO!!!!P.S. As kronicsmurf said, the info is ALREADY there 95% of the time, just look 1st. I guarantee you you'd find it faster than typing a post and waiting for a reply where your most likely goin to get flamed and tell you where to go. (grow faqs)
if your question is not answered after searching all the pot sites or books that you can thnk of off the top of your head, THEN you ASK.

I know where you are getting at FDD,really. I just think that questions that are not easily answered by the FAQ's or search function.
I've read instances where you help some guy out on a thread and then some guy asks the same question that you just finished helping the other guy out on the same thread to boot.
I notice that you are an extremely patient man FDD and thats probably one of the other reasons why you a staff/guru on here but I'm sure even you can only take so much, no?
I'm not saying don't ask questions. Example: For me, I do my best to avoid getting flamed and humiliated even though it is just the net, so I make sure that my question has not been posted already. I

WTF........my day starts with a cup of coffee, a smoke and "new posts" from riu. Never fails, every morning i either learn something or am able to dole out a little advice. NEVER woulda been able to do what i do without all the info i got from all of you. Ask away noobs......If i'm not mistaken thats what RIU is here for.

yes thats what RIU and all pot sites are here for, there is so much info on here you don't even have to ask, just search and read. I help people here too. Most of my threads are helping another person out or giving out suggestions. I help out all newbies. I know you guys think I'm an asshole but I just don't like stupid questions, I'm sorry.

i get these pm's "i hate to bother you but ......" then it's three to four days worth of back and forth questions and answers. sometimes i just want to scream LEAVE ME ALONE. but then i know in 2 hours i will feel like a total dick. it's hard, it really is. but then 4 or 5 months down the road i get a pm out of the blue, "look at my first grow. you helped." that's when i drop a tear.
