Do you know Why there's a wealth of info here on RCU?
Precisely because most people don't search for things.

What would you have them do? Find the first thread, and decide that there is no
other useful information about the subject? Yes, it "can" be annoying, to those who
have answered the same questions over and over. It's still just part of the game.
It's also the very method by which message boards (and usenet groups) thrive.


Make it all into a FAQ, and you may as well have a static webpage, instead of forums
