They probably don't read the rules anyway, but at least it would be covered. also, I suppose the the guy could of been considering buy this off ebay and used the ebay auction images to ask (I didn't check the dates to see the timeline, so maybe not) Yes ignoring them would work, but a stock cut and paste answer that everyone could agree to use would be much more polite... "We here at Tiki Central tend to not give out information or value on items to new members. Please use the introduction thread to tell us about yourself first. Once you are established over a period of time, you'll find people that are willing to discuss this topic with you." or something of the like..... one could be made along the same lines for the topic of new people posting stuff that isn't considered tiki.... Maybe it would save a newbie with good intentions rather than run him off... which we've all seen happen. Then again, a stock cut and paste polite answer would rob certain people the chance of being keyboard tough guys and self proclaimed a-holes, and what would they do then?
