Meh, Its the same on every forum. Its easier to ask the same question that has been asked 10,000 times and start a conversation that answers additional questions than put in the leg work and only ask follow-ups.
This, it was very annoying back when I first started to spend time searching for answers only to find a thread that said "use the search button". Then u start your own thread and get told to "use the search button". Just answer the FUQQIN question! I know I've answered the same questions about a million times on here...sometimes even from the same people.
Honestly I get tired of answering the same question over and over especially for people who already have their mind made up and don't want to listen, but I would rather help 10 people and have 1 listen than have all 10 go out and do something stupid. I ask a lot of question that can be answered by searching but I know that I will have multiple follow-up questions so its easier to start a new thread of my own specific to my application than jack someone else's thread or bump 3 year old posts.
