in thread "Sticky" nodes

I beliece the usual answers to these suggestions are:
A) What makes you think the posters would pay any attention to the search results even if they were forced to view them?

B) Dear god, this place is slow enough as it is without making every single post require a search through the database.

    Hi BUU I agree with Part A, but not Part B. I didn't say that making every single post, I said about starting a new post, not every reply posts. I watched the site for a few days, and I found that only a dozen or so new topics are added everyday. A related topics search on a dozen or so new topics shouldn't put too much stress on PM site I thought. :-)

    A) The point of enforcing them to view sticky nodes is to make them see that a subject was already addressed, instead of making them search through 9 or 10 or even more nodes.

    B) DEAR GOD!!! What sticky nodes have to do with the performance of the site?!?!?!?!
