Don't take it to heart Gibbo, people are expected to know how to use this forum the second they join. It can be harsh in the beginning but it's worthwhile in the long run, as you need good banter to survive. It's a forum, not a reference library and questions need to be asked. New members often don't search first, or ask them in the wrong forum, although how you're meant to know the right one without lurking for a month is beyond me.
Come down to your local drinks or get on a few of the organised rides. There are tons of great people here (including all of those above) and you'll make some good friends. As long as you utfs....
A thick skin and good banter helps online, but they're soft as marshmallow in real life.
