Honest, I wasn't playing forum monitor.
It's just that when an initial thread has gotten a lot of posts I'm afraid that
new arrivals to the secondary thread will miss out on the posts to the first thread.
Thus missing a lot of good info./advice.

Whenever I start a thread, I try at least three keywords and also
try them with the title search (by date).
But occassionally I still get stung and put a duplicate, even with that due diligence.

I could tell by the manner in which you pointed out the other thread. I don't mind at all when people point out previous threads, if they do it nicely, (like you did), because the commentary on each thread is often worth the read.

In any case, this wasn't technically a duplicate, because they were from different sources. I'd probably have posted it into the body of the other thread if I'd seen it though.
