I have to agree with Ditzy - it would be a much horribler (waits for the grammar police to show up) world if we weren't nice to newbies and each other.
I think it's fair enough to ask about other shows, but there's a huge difference between someone asking for names of other good shows to try and contact and someone who thinks they deserve spoon-feeding 'phone numbers, email addresses etc and can't be bothered to get their finger out and do some research themselves like everyone else does.
Unfortunately there are those who are just on the make and are ridiculously nice to your face until they get what they want (I can instantly think of a couple), but we shouldn't become all cagey and protective with everyone else because of some bad eggs.....their time will deffo come....and networking and making friends and contacts in this community is one of the things that makes it such a wonderful place to be.
