[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6740567, member: 177"] [color=darkorange] So what if it has? We have a search function, but it is only available to paid members. So, finding that content on a busy board can be a bit difficult. If you had actually found some of that discussion, and presented it, saying, "I think some of what you want might be in this thread...." that might have been helpful. But a general statement that the person should search instead of ask, isn't constructive. Plus, if humans couldn't talk about things that had already been talked about... we'd not have much to talk about any more. So, please, let it carry on.[/color] [color=darkorange] Conversely, sir - you don't own the thread. While it is sometimes okay to ask folks politely to stick to the topic, or remain civil, GOING TO ALL CAPS TO SHOUT AT PEOPLE who write things you don't want to see isn't any better than his comment above. The snarky tone doesn't help - it moves it away from a reasonable request to being a challenge.
