We see this question nearly every day. It does grow a bit tiresome. We are however nice, and deal with it. Some more homework could be done. They dont get the "use the search" function response.

The problem is how repetative it gets. Those who truely want to know find their answer searching. The rest are folks trying to talk themselves into other purchases first, and want others to tell them its smart. I think Dredd77 should sticky the guide he wrote on the topic recently |

I'm guilty of this (my orkan vs 5th slot waffling) I do try and search, but I hit the search button and it crashes on me on my iPad and reloads after every 2-3 letters typed so it's a 5+ minute deal to search for what I want with all the reloads. And then I sift through the info in hopes I find what I'm after, older threads may relate to older MM and may not be pertinent any longer and sometimes I'm searching for something I may not know exactly how to search for because I don't know how to phrase it to get the results I'm looking for... search feature works great when you know the subject but I'm still learning the acronyms and other lingo used here so it is daunting at times...
If I find something related to what I'm after but still have questions, I'm wary of asking in that thread because people here seem to gripe about resurecting threads that are a few weeks old... and of repeat questions... and regarding info covered in the wiki.... It would seem that all questions have been answered to the best they can be, so may as well archive the whole mess and shut the forum down...
I am on several forums that go through bouts of similar gripes from seasoned members, and I try and remember what it was like to be a noob, full of questions, not knowing how to search the proper phrases to find what I was after, all my concerns seemed so unique to me and/or was seeking reassurance or sage advice from those who were in my spot and may be willing to help a noob become less noobish.

Bubba, I am in no way singling you out. Its a common daily occurence. I don't want this to turn into a forum where everyone says, "use search".

A suggestion would be to rename the forum that way :

I second the request for a sticky thread. This has been a heated discussion, and there are valid arguments for different buying strategies. And even though I have a very strong opinion about it  , I would prefer to have one discussion where all the arguments are exchanged. This would have to be moderated though. |
