Yes, it is rude to use the horse if someone is fairly new, however we are all adults and should be able to shrug stuff off at this point in our lives.

Yes. New members don't know that we have answered the same wax / exhaust / wave / oil / polish / troubleshooting questions a thousand times. Cut them some slack. This forum used to be alot more helpful than it is now.
