I get weekly same thread annoyance but new tires come out, people have more opinions over the years or months.

Kind of funny seeing newer posters here with gatekeeping posts.

But yea, let's just make sure new threads are only on new, never discussed topics.

It's not about reposting. Its about the knowledgeable people here having to continue to regurgitate information that is over numerous duplicate threads.

I find myself about once a week going to start a thread, stopping myself to use the search function, then finding my answer within 10-15 minutes.

People start new threads on rehashed topics because 1. they don't know how to use the search 2. they are impatient and would rather have someone just give them an answer instead of attempting to look it up. The former is understandable and the light chiding pushes them to learn how to find the info instead of just posting a new thread. The latter is just lazy and not in good faith to the forum community.

OP here isn't guilty of this, but some new posters come in here acting like the forum members work for them to answer their questions. That's not how communities work.
