| Questions I hope I am not being rude but I think everyone should search the threads in all of the sections ( general yorkie disscussion,products and reviews, Etc)before posting a question. I have seen numerous questions that ask the same things. Does anyone feel the same as I do or am I just being rude? Last edited by luv4yorkies; 05-22-2005 at 04:17 PM. |

| It's not rude at all, you're just trying to suppress the number of posts! (There have been a lot since there are so many new members!) I'm part of some forums including this one and people tend to be repetitive with questions. It's real helpful for newcomers who see the question on the front page and know what they're looking for. Some might not know how to search posts and some may get lazy to click through them all (I know that happens to me, too!). Perhaps, you could find a related post and post a link in the newer thread to direct them to the older one with more answers. Some of us that have been around for a little bit longer might have seen the question before but the newer folks might not know if the question has been answered already so maybe you could help em find it! |

| One thing we are blessed with here on YorkieTalk is an excellent search feature. I love it and use it often. But I can't say I've never posted a question that hasn't been asked before. I have, many times. I've even been called on it. Sometimes I want a fresh answer. Sometimes I want feedback to my own question for reassurance to know that I'm not alone. If you feel that a post can be addressed by a recent thread that you have read, by all means, suggest a search on that subject or do the search yourself and post the address that someone can look up. Some newbies don't know, or forget that we have the search feature. On the other hand, I have also found that YT has the most patient, compassionate, and educated people I've run across in a long time. There's always someone who will patiently give advice to a post that gives fresh insight. Even on something as commom as housebreaking or food choices. That's what I love about this forum.

| i just think it gets kind of annoying when the same questions are repeated for example all the shampoo questions. (no personal attack to the people who asked about shampoos it is just that i think people should look first to see if the question has already been RECENTLY! |
