Perhaps there should be a better way to encourage newbie participation in Books, without heaping derision on the newbies who have the nerve to ask whether balrogs have wings.

Curtly pointing a person to an existing thread isn't much of a heap and it would ony be derisive if it concludes with something like "you knucklehead!".
As the forum description says, everyone is welcome - welcome to contribute but also welcome to read and, with a little thought, realize that in in nearly 2500 posts there is bound to be an existing topic on most everything.
On a side note: The search function always works well for me. Perhaps we should come up with a SEARCH TUTORIAL. I bet that would help this situation quite a bit.
