I couldn't disagree more. I think it isn't the impatience of those looking for answers but those giving the answers that has steadily declined. As no one ever learns from scratch or at least they don't anymore all our knowledge is based on others. Also it is the person who answers the questions choice whether or not to respond so I see no point in trying to slow down the speed at which others can gain and expand upon knowledge. I wouldn't doubt if there are more younger people using pm than there used to be me being one of them but why should someone horde knowledge from me when a solution to my question is already out there...doesn't that make it sort of like a proprietary solution?
