I have to agree. It comes off as a bit elitist. You don't see the Delta pilots saying to read all 120,000 posts on "Latest and Greatest..." every time they are asked a question. But I also agree that people should research before asking a question that's been answered numerous times. Gets frustrating. Certainly Atlas hopefuls do not need to read the pre-contact discussion which takes up about 1/3 of the thread, unless of course they want a history lesson.
