I'm so sick of the "Search before you post" Nazis here and on all the other websites I frequent. Searches don't work half the time or more on any of the sites I go to. Either that, or if you do search, the search engine is so slow that you will be old, senile, and have forgotten your original topic before the search engine finishes.

I sympathize with what you posted, but let me offer the following. Have you ever heard of the "5% a$$hole theory of the world"?

It works like this: If you could magically reach down and pluck out that 5%, in no time at all, another 5% from the remaining group would change roles and become the new a$$holes, because as unpleasant as they are, there appears to be a sociological need for that species in every society.

I'm so sick of anonymous dweebs calling other posters "Nazis" for merely doing what Jim has asked them to do while using his website - respect his bandwidth.

Searches don't work half the time or more on any of the sites I go to.

If those searches were done on a site that is not FreeRepublic, you should take that up with those sites and stop whining about it here. I have never had a problem using FreeRepublic's search engine for previous posts on a topic.

Either that, or if you do search, the search engine is so slow that you will be old, senile, and have forgotten your original topic before the search engine finishes.

You're apparently a little confused on the concept of "due diligence". Either do it here or don't post here.
