ITA!!!
As a "newbie" who does searches all the time - often the answers are outdated in that i notice after reading dozens of pages that
ideas have shifted onto a new solution...which then makes me have to start a whole new seach. this often takes a really reallllly long time. at first i didnt even
join LHCF officially for over a month cause it was so time consuming doing searches i never had time to actually post anything or read the threads for leisure. It was just 6 weeks of me combing through piles of old topics
or
even sometimes, even if my question has been asked in general...
the specific angle Im curious about hasnt been.
When that happens I often still dont post because ppl seem to be quick to assume newer ppl are being lazy and say "do a search".
when you've just come out of a 3 hr search and are getting dizzy from reading 200+ response threads....that response can be a bit disheartening
which is why i love it when older members actually post links to helpful previous posts.
trust me - its much easier for you to remember something you know is there.....than for me to look for a needle in a haystack. especially if im so confused im not even sure what that needle looks like
I agree that folks who keep bumping threads even
after others have been kind enough to point them in the right direction are being self indulgent. It ruins it for the rest of us.
