ORIGINAL: slaveladyj This might be a little off what you are discussing, but what bothers me, are those that open a thread, and then list from the search pages where a topic has been discussed before. The membership here comes and goes, questions are going to be asked again and again. And you'll get new and different responses because you have new and different people. I tell you, I"m afraid to pose a question for fear of having it said, oh, that's been discussed before, go here, read responses that are months old. At first, I thought this was odd, but then I changed my perspective about it. The way that I look at it now is not that they are saying, "Why is this being asked again??" but "Here are some good responses that someone else got when they asked something similar." You get the newer people answering and responding to the new thread started and then you can read older threads that may or may not provide more perspectives. It's just a way to increase the amount of information being given. Now I tend to be thankful the links are given rather than assuming the person giving them is negatively motivated. I remember being pleased and excited once when a link to a thread I started months ago was given. I remember thinking that there were some really good thoughts and opinions expressed by others in the thread that may have value to people who are newer to the boards. It is all a matter of perspective. Knight's kyra
