I'm heartily in favor of the thread-locking business, but I know that you Moderators are busy folk.
The Moderators are the best. Don't let some Freepers whose panties are in a wad (from lack of insight) get you guys (and gals) down!
Bully for you. Why not post your email addy and we'll all just email you to search for us before we post?
BTW, the credibility of someone who says "never" or "always" is always suspect.
If you truly want to save space and eliminate duplicates, chastise all the commenters that say the same thing as someone else. Or those who bump or ping. Or those that merely post an agreement to an earlier comment but add no new content.
Dude, you're losing it . . . bump or ping me when you get it together.
Now here's a substantive comment... not.
As to freeper Onedoug, Yeah I do agree FR is like a newspaper. You come to it to get the latest stories and updates. I do agree that sometimes these searches take so long to spew out the articles and so foruth. I do agree that's it's not an ego thing and there's nothing wrong with fresh points of view. I guess what I and other freepers are trying to do here is do things here to keep this place flowing smoothly. Running a website does cost money, especially when you're providing a place which allows people to exercise their first amendment rights of freedoms of speech. In any event your point is well taken, onedoug.
Again, thanks to everyone who participated in this thread. It has received more responses than the other two which I've posted here in "Your Opinions/Question." I'll have another observation for everyone to consider soon.
Regards.
