CB, it is in no one's best interest for a forum to have a zillion threads on a single topic. That's not the true nature of a forum - to be a no-work, instant answer source. It's to be a collection of information that is SEARCHABLE, and that has concentrated clusters of helpful, specific information, not countless threads on the same subject that one has to wade through to find a thorough answer. By the way, I don't know the answer, but I do know it's here somewhere. My first post quite possibly led to an answer to his question far faster than any other I could have given.
So, we do have the best interest of our members in mind. It just might be that you haven't used forums enough to understand what makes a good one. Believe me, there are many forums where a thread like that gets instantly locked with no explanation whatsoever. They have the best, most organized system of information around, even if they are a bit harsh to operate in. Consider us a happy medium.
Welcome.
