I am by no means an old timer to this group but i'm not a newbie either.
I can remember at least two threads that I started when i was new to the group,and that same thing of someone saying this subject has been talked about many times before and referred to some older thread.
To be perfectly honest with you it sort of Teed me off,and I came close to just canceling my membership and going somewhere else.
Glad I did'nt because I don't thing theres a better Kilt Group on the net.

So if you see a post you have seen many times before and don't wish to add a comment than don't.
I see nothing wrong in referring someone to another thread if it is for the purpose of showing them something they might be looking for,a pic of something they are talking about,or looking for,but to say this has been talked about to many times before is just plain rude.

I return you now to the topic of this thread.
