Has anyone else had the really frustrating experience of finding a thread you can contribute to, posting your view, then when you came back like, the next day, to see if anyone else has posted, you can’t find the thread? This REALLY gets to me. Grr. :mad: Would not a threadspotting search engine be useful? ---

Man, That is just TOO easy. In my book, I consider the embarassment of this thread punishment enough for the offense of leaping prior to looking. Have a nice day, and think twice, post once. Zette 🙂 ---
