Here's the thing: Not everyone knows that a topic has been discussed 80 times. If you're new to the site or forums, you may not know about duplicate posts or what Andres has ruled against. Like someone mentioned, put yourself in the newcomer's shoes. Some folks just don't know how things work here, and I guess its fine to mention it to them, but not in a rude way. They really may not know. And I myself didn't know that duplicate posting is to be reported, but I'll keep that in mind now that I do know. I just remember how I felt when I first got here, and I want people to feel welcomed and noticed - that's just the type of person I am. And yeah, some fresh people to keep things growing.

I posted earlier today and was entirely ignorant to a user and am actually surprised to be here still. It was from a similar thing going on at work and i didnt think just blew up. I have told him and now rest of u and andres that i am so sorry. Wont happen again cuz i felt awful 5 min later.

@Acire73: It happens 2 the best of us Erica at least u apologized 2 the person and realized it wasnt cool what u said ! ;)
