I was about to start a discussion topic but then decided to use the TUSCL search function first just in case I had missed an earlier discussion on the same topic. Sure enough, there it was a little over two years ago, a full discussion on what I was about to bore all of you about.
So how many of you use the search function before pontificating here?
Having been on here for 12 years, it seems like every topic has been covered before. Sometimes multiple times. But since there is always newbies and turnover, once more won't hurt. So no, I don't check.
I never check. As shadow said, every topic has probably been covered, but new people will ask old questions and old people will shoot off their mouths again. I don't see any harm in it.
It's important to renew the same old topic from time to time. For example, BBBJ feels better today than it did when it was first reviewed five years ago.
Alucard busted my balls on a thread I started once, saying that it had been discussed before. That didn't really change anything though, I still don't use it either...
Like shadow said, newbies like me didn't see the original, and who really wants to resurrect a 2 year old thread? If I see an interesting comment from that far back and want to pm the guy for more info, chances are he's no longer around. Keep things fresh, if someone else has already talked about it, they don't have to re-read or chime in if they don't want to.

It seems as soon as one finally leaves, another new asshole takes its place.
