My response is , JUST MOVE ON. This forum gets a lot of the same questions, but so what, most people that are new probably haven't figured out how to use the search function and even if they have, starting a thread is a great way to meet the other members. I get really dissappointed when I see threads like I have recently seen, infact one today, complaining about seeing the same questions or complaining about other people's preferences for their yorkies (size, color, ears, tails, etc). I've seen people get mad because we posted a thread about tinies. It's ridiculous. It should be a rule, that if you don't like a thread or the topic, DON'T RESPOND and just move on. There's nothing wrong with repeat questions and discussions.

Best answer yet! I love to see new members post their ideas and goals and wishes and needs and concerns and questions. I don't respond to everyone, there simply isn't time, but...... each and every one of us was a newbie with questions at some point. I for one am glad that some kind sole took the time to help me out when I needed helpin'

Good post! I've been noticing that a lot lately. I completlely agree, although sometimes someone might say to try the search because they will find out more than what is going to be answered. Another thing is though, if they are going to post a reply, they might as well be helpful

omg i said not to get offended... geesh and u got offended... man i was just venting

all i was saying that it shouldnt matter what ur yorkie looks like (like the ears)....

god this is ridiculous

I'll be the devil's advocate.

I just don't like repeat questions about weight, "How much will he/she weigh?" Sorry, MHO. I have a 10+lb fatty, and I wouldn't care if she got to 20lbs.

But, as you all said....I do not post on those threads, I ignore them. I try my best not to cause drama, sometimes I slip up, but for the most part, I'm a good girl.

Thanks for letting me say my piece!

i feel if someone puts up a new thread it's important to them and that's what forums are for. to share info. chill out. it's only a question!

I posted this suggestion on Catrina's thread as well: Perhaps we could have a resource page with the most commonly asked questions. I know when I try to do a search on something it brings up the most recent posts and many times the search engine isn't "smart" enough to pull up the results I'm looking for. If we had a page with answers to frequently asked questions users could go there in a quick pinch and still feel free to post a thread about their individual situation. Just a thought!!!

Catrina: please dont feel that i was offended by your post just thought i would voice something along the opposit lines, let other that have posted that they are tired of the same question see the other side, the people that are asking those questions. my post was not directed to you and i am truly sorry if you felt that way.

alright

Asking the same question is a great way to learn as there may be new information in each new thread that wasnt in the older thread..new ideas or thoughts. I had a million questions when I first joined and never thought to search out the old posts...and when I got replies I felt welcomed and like someone cared about ME personally. That is why I am here...Now when I see questions asked by new members I can help THEM...which is the best part...PASSING IT ON AND PAYING IT FORWARD!!

I love this forum and am really happy we can talk things out on a mature level when problems arise instead of drawing blood...you are ALL very special people!!
