@soix it's a public forum and you can't always expect people to divulge even the most "basic" as you say information all the time. It's just how it is. So are you going to police folks that don't then? That seems more like a waste of time to me. Instead why not approach it in a more cordial way instead of calling people out? You have no idea of everyone's background but one thing is for sure is we all just want to enjoy this hobby and that's a great thing. Lending your time is never a waste if your intent is to help. Who knows it may not help the original OP but could help others that run across the thread. Otherwise, you just end up sounding like a curmudgeon.
I didn't recommend anything because I have nothing to recommend.
