Pay no attention to chillinvillain (reply # 11). You can do a topic search to see if an article has been previously posted--this saves bandwidth and reduces clutter, yadda yadda, but searches are NOT always accurate.

I, for one, had not seen this article until you posted it. Keep 'em coming and welcome aboard!

I agree I’ve never understood the mentality of the searchite police. I guess their reasoning goes as follows 1) everybody spends 24 hours a day on FR so of course they should have seen the article OR 2) Although the search engine seems to fail to find the article in question it nonetheless is the posters fault. From a reader’s standpoint I can’t ever recall thinking to myself, “Lets see perhaps somebody posted an article I’ve never read or even heard of so I’ll search for said article, anyway.” I’ve NEVER been annoyed by multiple posting, but reading the search police posts reminds me of the DU forum posters (that is not a compliment).
