Look, after being around here for over a year, I'm not scared or reading long threads and doing my fair share of searching. But some simple feedback from a couple of users who have upgraded to 1.2.3 would not only be helpful to me, but to the many other people who will post the same exact question in the upcoming months. Sometimes, pointing someone to a 16+ page thread mostly ridden with garbage posts is not the best way to help the community.
I'm just as snarky as you are about newbees not doing their required reading, but I also understand that sometimes a more concise and brief explanation is needed and helpful. So every once in a while, even I try to grow up a little bit, roll up my sleeves and attempt to post some helpful responses.
