PSA: People have been getting pretty rude lately to people who are new around here. Remember that you were once the "new kid", as well, and probably didn't know that certain topics like juniors being at Worlds or celebrating a win have been discussed to death. If someone posts something that is inaccurate or has been posted before, it is entirely possible to point it out to them in a helpful, friendly, respectful manner. You don't need to simply post the "dead horse" smiley w/o any helpful information or make a sarcastic comment; you could maybe give them the correct information. Or even - god forbid - link them to a thread where they can find the information they are looking for instead of just yelling "SEARCH BAR" at them. Please don't scare people off; the more newbies that stick around, the more educated and seasoned "veterans" we end up with further down the road. It says "I'm new, don't hurt me" for a reason.
