Okay, this was enough to get me to register just to respond. I'm sure "Sweetie" (condescending much?) can speak for her/himself but even though you've been on a forum since the dawn of time, are personally familiar with hundreds of thousands of posts, and surely have never repeated a topic in your seventhousandfivehundredplus posts it's still not "serious." It's like you and TXLady are sitting in front of a Whac-A-Mole game (mallet raised) waiting for someone to stick their head in your forum...WHAM!
A new poster may or may not know the lingo or correct phraseology to yield the perfect search results. Hey, I've got family members who've never even heard of a forum and I hope someone would be kind enough to either ignore their post, answer it, or direct them to the previous convo.
Sometimes a fellow human just needs a little help and shouldn't have to go by the ID newtothissopleasedon'tbeatool to prevent abuse.
