I try to help out most people, but sometimes my help consists of telling them the search criteria - search "thisterm" "all mods" "titles only". I do that so that they can help themselves to find the answer, not because I'm trying to be mean or anything. I used to just post the link to the mod, but would then be told "oh, but I'm on 3.5" or "oh, but I want it to do *that* also." How was I to know if they don't say? So, now I do a quick search to make sure my search terms give results, then I post my standard search answer.

I'm glad people find the help they want through PMing you, but I wonder have you ever searched out their original post for help? Did you notice anything about the post that would explain the lack of help they got or did you think the responses given were unhelpful?
