People get so pissed about repeat topics because it supposedly cuts down on efficiency of the forum.

It's MUCH more efficient to either ignore the post (don't even go into it!!), or to simply reply with an intelligent answer.

Sometimes it's much easier to read intelligent replies on a repeat thread than to wade through 15 pages of responses on the original thread before you get to the answer you want.


Or maybe instead of being so negative about my post or assume I am flaming or acting childish, you should realize one inevitable fact... the links I've posted contain SEVERAL answers to his questions, and I feel it would be beneficial for him to read through them for himself and see if there is something he likes rather than picking apart what I feel is worth while or a good answer. It might not even be close to what he wants.

If you posted a thread saying "whats the best app?" and giving nothing else, would you want people to give you one or two answers for what they think is the best, or would you rather have a link to a page with literally hundreds of apps to scan through and see what you can find yourself?


On second thought, don't answer that. I just realized by your response to my first post that you are the lazy type who would make the post, then flame people for not knowing what specific app you were looking for when you posted.
