In racing, the age old addage is that "there is always someone faster".
Taking that to the next level and applying it to CC.com ...
"Someone will always have more attitude".
Jon's points concerning repetitive answering of easily searched questions is a valid one. It does get a little frustrating and old. And people, by and large, want to be spoon fed. Call it lazy ... I call expedited learning. (IMG:

Where I think CC.com goes a little beyond just being a bunch of frustrated, very intelligent racers is when someone gets hammered for simple typos.
All of a sudden a huge population has the time and energy to post up flame and rhetoric ... but not add content to post. If the typos were so bad it made it unreadable, then
maybe ...
I think this place is quickly becoming the best of both worlds. It is beginning to amass the tech data for search and the techies for the answers. And it also has a laid back feel to it.
It's gonna be up to us, the users (not admin or mod staff) to keep the focus. You can call some out for NOT using the search tool ... and it can be done in such a way that it won't start a flamefest, resulting in bannishment.
Flaming or ranting on someone because they failed is just a little too much like Jr. High.
