I totally understand what Brian is trying to express. I myself have passed over a thread, with no response, simply because I've answered that question at LEAST 10-15 times in the past!! Amy, I am not attempting to disagree with you, just saying how I feel about it. We have the ability to search on this board, why not do it? I can tell you that I did when I first came on here, and I searched it for days and days. I suspect that many post it rather then research it because it's easier on them. We have the ability to also privately email any member. In my years on here, I've gotten 32 private messages.
I have answered the same question over and over and over on here. Brian, is it possible to put something about the search engine on the welcome page, encouraging people to use it? Do we already have something like that on there, I'm not sure.
