EOS 300/Rebel 2K instruction manual... A problem.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon EOS FAQ forum : One Thread

Hi,

Recently there has been lots of questions concerning the instruction manual for EOS 300 / Rebel 2000. Has the forum maintainers and/or anybody else done anything about it. Its irritating to answer the same question. Its true that the newcomers to the forum should go through the forum properly before asking any question. But searching out relavant information is sometimes troublesome and hence instead the newbies prefer to repeat the same question. If the maintainer atleast keep a search engine on its site it would be easier for others to search relavant information. Another alternative to this problems is to catgorize the information already available on the forum. Since the second alternative is quite painful, they can atleast try to go for the first option of puting a search engine.

You don't have to read all of the questions...if the subject line say's Canon 300 manual then just skip it! Don't be such a cry baby.

Doesn't your Web browser include a search function? I pulled up the EOS FAQ forum and searched for 2000 on that page. The very first hit was one of the seemingly-daily requests for a manual.

Putting up a search engine doesn't help. The unmoderated photo.net forum has one, yet it keeps having the same questions asked over and over and over and over again. Ditto in the newsgroups - google can pull up gazillions of examples of the same questions being asked repeatedly, and do it very quickly, but that doesn't stop people from posting the same question that someone just posted three days ago.

Some people will use these tools; many are just too lazy.
