hi. this may seem like a little rant but here we go. I've not been here long but I've already noticed that there's an immense amount of unesscessary topics posted daily such as:- "water or oil for hs33?" "which helmet?" "which frame?" it just seems to be the same topics over and over again. does no one know how to use the invaluable search feature?? apart from it being a massive waste of bandwith having several threads with basically the same content, its also really annoying logging in to see 40-50 new posts some of which are the same and having to check them all just in case something good is missed by skim reading due to boredom. would it not be better to prune the unneeded threads and just have the best ones that have the best info so that us newbies can also see what its all about?? it also seems to be the same names coming up with pointless posts. anyway, rant over. PS, search is our friend. mike
