Making Plans 957 Posted December 14, 2004 Why can''t people bother to read the the existing posts before starting new one on a subject that''s already been started, debated and more or less concludedThat way we don''t keep going over the same thing time and time againSurely, given the level of general intelligence on here, this can''t be too difficult (or can it)There are currently numerous examples of this, the problem is getting worse and it''s a pain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On this board, despite the ability to ''quote'' from a previous poster, basically we are forced into a single linear thread, which often meanders here there and everywhere, and ends up discussing anything but the original subject. You don''t have to contribute to the new thread. If it bugs you, ignore it. It''s democracy in action! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
