Kevin, I'm not "leaping on anyone from great height".........Believe me, I know that many times a new take or whatever is important as is a new audience. The Soncatcher thing just cracks me up, but even when there was a note asking people to check old threads, it didn't get read! However, if you have come looking for info on Seagull Guitars or any topic, it just makes sense to check back and see what has been said previously. Then maybe you refresh a thread that's apprpropriate......or maybe your question is already answered.

Searhing is not all that hard and frankly there have been so many topics discussed here that reading old threads may be not just educational, but also a way of saying opinions mean something. I'm not pissed here and definitely not pissed at paddymac who is an old and valued member. Nothing will change the situation short of a program that forces a search before starting a thread and that's a ridiculous amount of work I think.

So I try to treat the thing humorously or throw in the past relevant threads as clickies in the new thread. I fear at times though that they don't get read and I'm not sure why. Just the 'Cat and another day.............no big deal.
