Posting a new thread

Post by wart57 »

Jeez, what are we supposed to do, read every page of every thread to make sure we are not posting something that is being discussed in the middle of a 50 page long thread? Lighten up folks.

That's exactly what you're supposed to do. It's not our problem if you actually have a life.

You can try the search function if you aren't sure.

The mods get paid big bucks for this sort of thing. I say post away and don't worry about it. Someone will lock it down if it's redundant.

This is my recommendation. We don't lock threads out of any malice or anything.

But why does it need to be locked? If there are 4 or 5 threads on the same topic, yea, lock them, but if there is something burried in ther middle of another big thread, why can't it have it's own thread? I think it is a little over moderated, thats all. If I am the only one that feels this way, sorry to be a bother, and don't mind me.

Wart, don't make me move this to site-support/suggestions, cuz I will totally turn this car around and do that.

Usually we merge threads...just keeps the forum cleaner and we don't have 4-12 threads about the same thing.
