No, they should post in one of the request threads asking where the material can be found now.

That is a problem. There's a tendency online to embiggen oneself at the cost of others, to make some clever remark to show how much more you know than "some noob." We should remember we are all ignorant of a great many things, and that our ignorance was greater in the past. We should also remember to use common sense, which can prevent many forum faux pas. When a community works together for the betterment of all, everyone trying a little harder to get along, it can change dramatically.
