I agree with you b-w re: topics coming up again and new people or ANYONE jumping in with something new or their opinion and it can be discouraging to get one of us old farts saying, "Oh not again." However there are times when an "Old Fart" will give out some blue clickies to previous threads simply to allow the folks on the current one to look at what's been said.

Which brings up a sore point with me. Forget the past threads, sometimes on a current thread the same info will be posted over and over showing that the person NEVER read the other posts and that always gives me the feeling that they think THEIR opinion/info is the only one that matters. This doesn't just happen on BS threads (muscal or otherwise), it happens on the "serious" music threads as well. We have a current thread where ALL the questions of the original poster were answered in the first three posts. The thread went on and other info came in, but several people posted only the answers that had ALREADY been given.

I guess that's why when we get into those arguments over "gratuitous" posting it strikes me odd that those who often complain about me or kat or some other BSer are the very people who do what I just described. We also have a number of members who say, "I didn't read all the other stuff, but here's what I think." I'm always tempted to reply, "If you ain't got time for everyone else, I ain't got time for you! Bugger off."

Sorry to go off like that b-w........Always like your stuff and your contributions to the 'Cat.
