That is a DAMN good idea. But IMO, the 'start new thread' option should just be flat-out eliminated for users that are on probation, and users with under 20 posts. That way it's a punishment for the troublesome members (as well as a blessing for the rest if us), and it helps to force newbies to run a search, or at least browse a little.

True Story! I love this statement "I searched but......". My ass they searched. I often wonder how lazy they must be in the real world.

I hate to admit this, but I really have searched for answers that I did not find here until much later. I just didn't start a new thread because I was sure that in time I would find the answer here, and besides, I knew someone else would ask, and then they could take the heat.;)

On the first page of this section alone there are like 6 threads about tethering and Froyo, 6 about impressions, 6 about battery life, etc. I know this forum moves fast, but I have never seen the amount of duplication of information I see on this forum on any other.
Heh.... you should see the Captivate forum. :rolleyes:
