What I'd like to say is this: when there's a sticky with many pages, don't go through the trouble of reading the whole thing since often posted problems are more or less the same (or are solved the same way).
If you want to post about, say, a connection problem that you're having with this or that application, go to the connection problems section of that application (when there is one) and read the stickies there: when it's not a problem-solving sticky, it usually shouldn't have more that a couple posts. When it's a problem solving one, the first couple posts should also be enough.
Provided that we count the rules as a sticky (and that you have, of course, read it), the number of stickies you would have read to post in a Connection Problems section ranges from one to nine (the Limewire section being the more "stickied" place, unless I'm mistaken).
There are many cases where people (like lazy me) will just point you to a sticky or to a page full of search results, so you're gonna read that many posts anyway.

Now, please don't take this as an offensive post: I just wanted to pursue the conversation a wee bit.
Everybody has gone through the newbie stage at some point or other.

Cheers to you people.
