searching the threads for the answer you are looking for is better for YOU:

A. if the answer is already there, you get it instantly, you dont have to wait for someone to read your thread, look up info...

B. if the question has been discussed in detail it has probabally been answered correctly, you dont always get the right answer in the first response to a new thread

C. the threads from last years have been closed - if you search for an answer, you should be able to tell quickly if the threads the search engine supplys are from this year, or previous years.

D. its LESS WORK for you to type in one or two keywords and see what the search engine comes up with, than it is for you to type out your WHOLE question

people chant "SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH" because its better for you

its better for us

its better for the environment :c)
