I agree wholeheartedly. I also want to say to everyone, don't post one-liners. A post that just says 'Oh yeah!' or 'So what?' should be kept to yourself. You're just causing a burden for the sever.

Depending on the server, we might have overload problems with the MySQL database if we constantly post such things. Don’t you want to keep the forums alive everyone?

Now I'm all for stopping all the dumb people in the world from posting. But the days before kickoff can be quite slow compared to afterward. So I believe there needs to be a bit of leeway to certain people, especially those new to Delphi forums.

Andy was referring to stuff that was just cluttering the boards--during the build. Not necessarily something "stupid", but people going "yeah, I don't know" "Maybe it's this", stuff like that, that just takes up space and doesn't get any closer to the answer someone was looking for.
