i'm not pointing out suffering or anything of the sort......
i AM trying to suggest that:
1. using original/old threads makes note that the topic has been discussed. that doesn't mean we can't continue to post on the idea, but how 'bout just adding a comment to the original thread?
2. many folks have already commented with good thoughts....reading them is helpful.
3. using these older threads to expand or contribute with newer ideas, comments or posts is good!
4. it suggests i've read some history (listen before talking) and while i might think my next comment is BRILLIANT! others may have already said it better.
5. and just like paying tribute to wally it acknowledges that others have already contributed.
6. with anything wbcci related it's really easy because there is a whole separate subforum called 'wbcci' and it only has 3 pages of history so it's easy to review and scan quickly before starting a new wbcci thread.....with basically the same theme.
7. moderators often at a later time combine threads anyway....so why not build on topics others have already started.
8. all of those folks who have already posted cared. they may not want to retype or may not be online, or may not care anymore or may have changed views, but there is, contained here, a very healthy spectrum of comments to BUILD UPON.
9. most topis wbcci related aren't new (that's not a judgement pro/con)
so info posted 2-3 years ago is still current.....sort of.
10. PLUS i learn something everytime i read an old thread!!
cheers
