To be honest, I hate people who don't search. Usually if I see the title is newbie I'll let it go and let them know there is a search function, but when I see Regular and up it just pisses me off. Undoubtedly they know there is a search function, they're just too damn lazy to use it. For example, a while back, I was browsing around MR one day, and saw a thread about a very repetitive topic. I answered it even though I know there was one around not too long ago. Next day I come, ANOTHER thread asking the exact same question came up. I'm like... alright, I'll just type in the same answer again. Next day, ANOTHER thread came up, about the exact same freaking thing! The other thread that I just answered to was even on the same page of that forum. If you don't want to search, can you not scroll either? I timed myself, and in less in 5 minutes, I found like 4 similar threads, all made in the last month. Hell, 2 was made in the same week! It will not take you more time to find those threads than making a new thread. And some say, what's wrong with repetitive thread? That's like saying what's wrong with spam and commercial advertising? You don't have to read let alone respond to it. It takes up space, and prevent people who actually need help from getting help. It's a waste of resources and plain annoying. Of course everyone have their grumpy days, but most people don't complain if you post a topic that was only discussed 2 years ago. However, that is not the case for the most part. Most of the complaining come out of threads that have been repeated multiple times in the same month, sometimes in the same week. They're completely pointless and a waste of space.
