Default It is way too close to midnight. I should not be typing.
I have been around here for about a buzillion posts (sometimes I am dismayed by that) and maybe I have seen it all. Maybe not. But I would never say to someone new that something has been discussed. I would never say that I did not want it to be discussed again. And I would never just order somebody, "Do a search."

Sure seems a lot like slamming the door in somebody's face. A little "us and them" sounding it seems to me.

I might helpfully deliver a thread to them. Or politely direct them on how to do a search. Or maybe provide a link. I would try to answer if I knew the answer. I might even like to talk about it again.

Manners? Screenside manner? Whatever. Maybe it is just that I have absolutely no desire to become the world's oldest living hall monitor. Just not in my job description I guess.

(Toldya I should not type after midnight.)

And Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to all you new kids on the block. Ask away. It's OK.

Goodnight Boomer
