To anyone who gets a similar message as this, pat yourself on the back for searching and welcome to CD, it's a great place to be

This seems to be a common (wait, no, overwhelmingly common) occurence. So all I've got to say newbz is search before you post, jeez!

Just kidding.

If you found that offensive I'm sorry but it was too funny.

I really do apologize.

So my point, aside from bad jokes that aren't half as funny told through a forum, is that there's a good way and a not as good way to help people post in the correct place, etc etc. I know I'm not going to get shouted down for this here, but I'm not sure exactly /WHY/ bringing back an old thread is a big deal. Ah, whatever.

Also, for me, myself, personally (that's me) I am more cautious posting a new thread and less cautious jumping into an ongoing discussion. Now I guess not everyone has to be exactly like me, but we could all try a little harder.
