Subject: RE: BS: mudcatters are up their own a**holes
I'm with you, greg. I find it really irritating when I ask a question, or even worse, start a thread on a topic and I get a huffy response "We've ALREADY discussed that!" As if you are only alowed to discuss topics never discussed before. Sheesh! There can be a real arrogance to that response, depending on how it's stated. It's all in the way that it's said. A friendly link to previous discussions doesn't have to be a put-down, or a turn-off on a new discussion. The day I don't get something new out of a thread, no matter how many times the subject has been discussed, I'll be looking up at the daisys.

(It also helps to be more understanding when you get old and you keep telling your kids the same old stories.. and they are kind enough not to say "You've already told us that story, Daaaaad!"
