Old Gold, so the "rule" is that you are not allowed to ask a question unless either (a) you have been a regular on the board for at least 12 months and know that the topic has not already been discussed; or (b) you conduct a thorough search to assure that that the topic has not been discussed. Of course, in this instance, finding 55 threads in the AA topic, one would need to read all those first, to assure that one's question had not been answered already. How's your search going so far - up to Cathay yet? What did you find - 3250 threads? The search feature is great if you want to find some old material you know exists - it shouldn't be an obligation for one to use before posting a question. Oh wait - someone probably already has a thread on this issue, and now I'm repeating things. Come to think of it, so are you.
