Who needs the "search" function when a quick scan of the "breaking news" column shows the obvious.

So scan breaking news AND search? No. Search should do it. Besides, you can't always know an article by what a poster puts in the title... obviously this is one of the reasons search isn't as effective as it should be.

I'm surely not the post police, but the post was quite abrasive imo. If your goal is to encourage more care before posting dups, I don't think you got there. it seems though that your post was to try to make someone feel stupid, as if you yourself could never make such an error.

Maybe you believe by ridiculing people they're more likely to listen to you.

Sorry, Labyrinthos... it's been a tough day for me. I get mad too when it seems people are careless. I'm just a bit sensative today... apologies...
