Myself having frequented a rc helicopter forum for a couple of years now, there is always a newbie that comes in and asks a question that has been answered 2, 3 - 10 times already. And yet the 'regulars' still happily answer the questions by answering it or by directing them to a specific thread (page).

Albert, none of us have a problem with answering a question, we are all glad to do it.
I think the point that Travis is making is when you have a multi-page thread going and someone comes on and does not bother going through the other pages of the thread. Then they ask a question that has been answered and/or talked about in depth earlier in that thread. There is nothing wrong with small talk or getting to know people here when you are new to the board. But it does in a way show disingenuous interest if you can't even spend a few minutes to go through a thread completely before asking questions of commenting.
No one, including Travis, is even remotely suggesting that a person NOT ask a question, just merely asking that you take the time to go through and READ the thread first.
In my opinion that shows me that a person is truly interested in what I have done on my thread with my builds.
