Another one that is a little low on the etiquette scale is the person who constantly tells others that "this topic has been covered here before, you should have done a search". This can really intimidate a new poster from interacting with the forum and drive them away.
I agree with TucsonJim. This is one of the most irritating posts to me. When someone posts a question on this FORUM, they are looking for a PERSONAL experience that other forum members have had that relates directly to their question. Most of the time they have been to RV Park Reviews, Google Search for that area, and other searches and now they are in the Forums to "chat" with others.
I find that the people that try to shut them down by making them feel guilty by asking a question, really don't have any personal experiences to share. I think they may just "copy and paste" to do a search on topic. You will find it is mostly the same ones that this is their same response to all questions. They really have nothing to contribute.
Keep on asking! I have found that the smart ones will share!
