I see both sides of the coin here:
On one hand-those of us who have been around here for a while (some of us a LONG while) who have seen just about every topic posted once and wish people would look things up before posting new threads...
On the other hand-people who are newbies and who don't exactly know how this site works yet...
I say...give the newbies some slack...sure Harry Potter and the monorail expansion (and some other choice topics...JayDarkKnight, anybody???) have been done to death...but in my opinion once somebody has posted the fact (nicely) that maybe the newbie learn what the search function is for and/or posted a few example threads, let the thread die!!! Don't whine and complain that this thread has been talked about and talked about. It's pointless and it only makes the newbie feel stupid and makes them feel as though we are an unfriendly bunch.
Just remember, we were all new at one point or another.
