Déjà vu
Ever been reading a topic on a forum and felt as if you’ve seen something very similar before? The chances are that it’s because some twit has come along and posted their message without bothering to read through previous topics to see what’s been discussed previously.
Many forum members are willing to be helpful and share their knowledge with others; that’s what forum discussion’s all about. Asking them to share the same knowledge over and over again, instead of taking the trouble to find and read what they’ve already written, is an abuse of their good nature.
So please take a little bit of time to check what’s been posted earlier – scan the topic titles, and use the search facility if there is one. You may find what you were looking for that way.
