Why, thank you so much, RonDog.

I did a search and came up empty.

You go on with your bad self...

I wouldn’t sweat it. Sometimes people do a search, see nothing, then post. At the same time someone ELSE has just searched and posted. Then it looks like someone didn’t bother to search. Really, the only time it seems to be a big deal is if someone is posting the same material but linking to a personal blog. Blogpimping, I think it’s called. Otherwise it’s nothing a simple admin action can’t resolve, and is easily dismissed as part and parcel of the interwebz.

Cheers.

I think the general rule here is - if it’s been more than 4 hours since the last thread it’s okay to post it again.

Re: Search coming up empty - here’s the advice Jim Robinson gave about it....

The FR search works best if you confine it to one or two significant words of the title (usually one is all you need) and stay away from words of three characters or less. Those don’t work at all. And avoid typos by using cut and paste rather than typing the words in.

Also, it appears that some people are not choosing the “Title” option in the pull down. That’s required if you wish to search by title.
