> To answer the OP here: You’re being told to use the search function because your thread is derivative sealioning at its worst. You have no useful new information or original questions. It’s all just a rehash of questions that were asked and answered a decade ago. Popping in to “just ask questions”, when by “ask,” you mean, “repeat questions you heard on some dodgy website” is unquestionably aggravating.

The OP of that thread is **jroth7** , a different poster from the OP of this one, **justmeetee.**

I’m not sure what thread the OP is referring to. In a recent thread of his another poster made a polite suggestion that a previous thread on the same subject might provide useful information. I don’t see anyone expressing annoyance toward the OP.
