All the goofs giving people shit about using search. Like right below. I mean if we can't ask questions if they've already been asked, then the forum will die.
What the goofs who bitch about people who don't search don't realize, is that people may have follow up questions or prefer a dialogue with someone, which they cannot do because all conversations you search for are locked.
That being said, you can email those people left in the searches but then your reaching out to one individual at a time, on a personal line no less.
Just let people talk and ask questions without whining about seeing a topic you've seen before.
