Did you read this thread from the beginning? The OP was sent a PM within a few days of his request.

In my experience here, what bothers people the most is when new comers ask previously asked questions without simply reading a few posts to find the info they were searching for. And if it was just a one time thing, people might let it slide, but this happens in virtually every thread related to edits, preservations and etc. The repitive nature of these requests is borderline crazy.

Could this community be a bit nicer to the newbies? Perhaps, but the respect relationship goes both ways and if someone really wants to be a part of this community, I believe they would be welcomed. If a person is just looking to hit and run when they get what they are after, well their stay may not be a pleasant one.
