[GATOR NAVY]

...whenever someone claims they did a search and couldn’t find the article, how come it (or they) pop-up when I do?

Often what the already-posted nazis (and I'm not saying you're one) mean when they say "I found it" is

-They found an article on the topic, but not the same article posted. The different articles could have different info, but the already-posted nazi only sees the topic.

-Many times the same article but from different sources will have have different titles. Yes, a little more care could prevent double posting in this casr, but it's not the end of the world.

The already posted nazis get on my nerves. Yes sometimes there are too many articles posted on the same topic.

On the other hand, I can't count how many times I have seen the article jumped on the post nazis but never saw the original they referred to. In all those cases, I'm damn glad it was posted twice because otherwise, I wouldn't have seen it at all.

The Nazi's should definitely provide links, true. But the "I'd have not seen it otherwise" thing is an excuse. Twenty minutes while drinking coffee in the morning skimming the Articles tab (instead of Activity or Comments), and you'll never miss a thread again.

In fact the best informative-type threads on FR rarely get many replies . . . why should you count on luck-of-the-draw in order to see one?
