No need to apologize shado. And I'm not telling you not to joke or post or anything like that.

I'm just trying to understand why people -- you for instance -- care about a thread whose topic you no longer wish to discuss ... Why would you-- or anyone else -- care that a thread is repeated, likely full of passionate opinions, about to erupt into personal attacks, and, as you say, about to become -- if not already -- full of "Drama"?

In my opinion repeat threads or resurrections, or rehashing of old subject are no more annoying than a lot of threads on totally original subjects -- It's the content of a thread that is important to me not the number of times that topic has been discussed. If I'm sick of reading about a topic, I simply don't look at the thread and I can't quite understand why anyone would feel any different ...

Do you rage at all the cookie cutter formula based novels at the bookstore or the library or just ignore them? Do you stand outside of bad sequels and pass out pamphlets explaining how this latest version is just a low budget rehash of the last one?

I'm not trying to single you out, actually I don't really think you in particular are mean spirited, but some folk are and vent the frustrations of their lousy lives on some poor unsuspecting new forum member who -- heaven forbid -- didn't spend 10 minutes trying to operate an admittedly lousy search function.

Frankly I think it is those sort of folks who are thin skinned in a certain way -- they can't imagine the internet operating in a way that clashes with their preconceptions and they take it personally.
