Why do people freak out when a topic has already been discussed? Not all of us have been members for three years! Is it that painful to see a topic repeated? Do the Mods truly get offended? Give us a break . . . ---

Why do newbies over react to a helpful bits of information? It is obvious you are referring to me, rhinostylee and I in no way “freaked out” that the topic had already been discussed. I simply, and IMHO kindly, informed Fuel that the thread was over three years older and how (s)he may want to go about addressing the issues in the old thread. I also stated that I might be wrong and out of line about what the Mods would like in situations like this. FYI, Fuel did not realize that the thread was so old. ( The mystery of the reappearing thread has yet to be solved.) Don’t be so defensive and please read what was written not what you want to read. ---
