Nice way to welcome a newbie...er... sorry, I guess since he posted about fuel economy he must be a troll. :rolleyes:

Ian, perhaps you need to modify the registration process so that users are made BLATANTLY aware of implicit XOC guidelines.

It's certainly not very welcoming for one's first post to be shot down so quickly by old-timers tired of seeing the same old questions.

On the other hand, perhaps it should be the forum moderator's job to delete a thread such as this and send a canned private message about how best to use the search function, and how to turn off CAPS LOCK when posting.

Either way, it might provide a more welcoming atmosphere for first-timer posters, whether they are internet-ignorant or trolls. Just a thought. :rolleyes:
