True, but it is hard to limit Google searches to a specific forum.

The problem is, the last post isn't always the information you need...usually it's someone commenting or complaining about something...not actually the information you need.
Absolutely. This is especially painful when searching for information in a massive thread.

I think it would be very helpful if posters could choose between an "information" and "comment" icon/button for their post. Then, at a minimum, one could try and look at just the "information" posts when reading. Or, the web site could offer an option to collapse/scan a thread by hiding the "comment" posts, perhaps with a disclosure triangle.
