I take your point that the sensitive might be offended enough not to return and a number iof threads read like a private boys club.
I would say, however, that a general reading of the forum will enlighten even the sensitive to the fact there are a lot of good people here and what may be seen initially as a snub or critique is really advice wrapped in sarcasm.
That does not dilute your concern however, and you make a valid observation, IMO.

A newbie to computers, to forums, or to LOS, What do he think when he get "USE SEARCH FUNKTION" in his face?
Ofcourse he never be back.
The time and effort to make a friendly reply is same then to be unpolite.
If a long time member knew there is an update reply of search engine was used, thell the newbie! A new member on this board can feel he/she is outside, course they dont knew the others. Do they stay? No! How meny members is on this board VS how meny dear to post?
