It just depends on who replys, cos some are more "forgiving" than others. The people who get annoyed are they people who see hundreds and hundreds of questions asked, that has already been asked hundreds of times, and they cant see why people just dont use the search button.
you get complaints if you reply to old messages,
Most of the time, it not a complaint, and if they do complain, its because someones replyed to a thread that has been debated over and over, with no answer found, and someone posts back asking the same answer. If the answer wasnt there the first time, it wont be there the second.
and you get complaints for starting a new thread.
As with my first comment, you`ll get complaints if you post a question about something that has already been asked a thousend times, and the answer to which could have been found by using the search button
Dont take it personally when someone complains at you. If you do you`ll get no-where on these forums. Just take it as a joke as/where possible, and you`ll be fine.
