You know, if it hadn't been started by the resident troll of the moment, this really would have been a decent subject for a new thread.

Been done before. Do a search, and there's some pretty long ones.

Aww... that's like recording the big game and watching it later.

Better than starting a whole new topic,
everyone posting the same stuff on
it, and people eventually getting so
bored with the site, due to the repetition,
that they give up on it.

I was kidding.

But in all seriousness, that hasn't been the outcome at another board I frequent, where newcomers regularly post the same topics we've covered months or years ago. There are always fresh faces, different needs, and a new take on old themes. Our membership has been growing quickly and steadily for some time now.

Sure. New people add to the take.
No question. BUT, the old members
often feel compelled to reiterate
what they've said before. I certainly
do it, and have seen others do so too.

There are probably at least 5 threads on
this topic. I wish we could just merge them,
when we see repeats.

Neat idea! Makes me wish I were a programmer.

This BBS software doesn't seem to allow
it. Or, at least, we don't have the privileges
to do so. Good thing, I guess, as I'd probably
obsess and try fixing all the duplicate threads.

For the last discussion that I remember, on this subject.
