using the search menu 1st, or starting a new thread?

if your going to bitch about people not searching and posting new threads, then you should also bitch about people with non-descriptive thread titles that undermine the search feature

IMO posting just to say "search" is in no way helpful......say something like "use advanced search feature to look for thread title ____". New users might not know to use the advanced search, or the terminology to search for. Help them out, or dont bother posting....your post to say "search" takes up space and bandwith too....make it more useful.
