just my take based in my own experiences but...
it doesn't take that much time to help someone. it's not very common either as far as i've noticed from running my own joints. the longest i've ever had to help someone on a forum come from the folks that are really developmentally challenged or very bad at english which is super rare to even encounter. so, not having enough time ever is a bit of a silly concept to me.
in the same vein, it's not wrong to just not want to help a newbie at all. but regardless if you want to do so or not, no shame in telling the person to wait until you have time and/or delegating the task to another willing individual. or... i guess plastering in your guidebook for those people to go away is better than nothing too. saves everyone a bit of time.
anyway, if anyone has me on their forum in the future and there comes along a newbie of any variety that needs help, just send 'em my way. :thumbsup:
