Re: Why You Should Search Before Posting

I'm well aware of that; I recall being a new member when some of them were posted.

Every year, someone brings up "Read the Manual." Bringing up the topic of searching happens much less frequently.

For completeness, a list of some of the most relevant past threads:
The classic one is http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=32993.
On thread revival: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=77401.

There are a number of other threads that include, among a number of other forum do's and don'ts, an admonition to search. Very, very few say why you should search, which is what I was after. (Or at least, very few that responded to the search term "search forums".)
