[QUOTE="SuperJay, post: 6736601, member: 620494"] Is it really spoon feeding to be helpful? All that was really done here was send someone to google. Don't be afraid to actually help when people ask for it. I know, most of you feel some sense of entitlement, or elitism because you know how to install a stereo. Hell, I've been doing this for 20 years, 16 of that has been professionally. I still take the time to help the n00bs who ask for help. It's the kids who don't even know the right questions to ask who need our help the most. Teach them the right questions to ask, and how to find the solution themselves, instead of telling them they aren't smart enough to do the job. I installed my first alarm at 14 years old. Did I have any business doing it? Probably not, but I learned from that, and each subsequent install. I still learn something from most installs. If you're fed up with the repeated questions from people who have little to no experience, maybe it's time for you to take a break from the forum. Hell, go hang out in off-topic and bullshit with your e-buddies until such time as you feel you can come back and give a proper and helpful response to the annoying n00bs who keep asking the same questions, over and again, and who seem, for some reason, to ignore the search function.
