Duplication my friends, duplication

Recommended Posts

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 concluded

That way we don''t keep going over the same thing time and time again

Surely, 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

Look at it this way - on the classic message board any number of sub-threads can branch off the original, as people look at the same subject from a slightly different angle, or wish to reply to a particular post. 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!
