I'm amused by this in a very meta way. To me, this is, at the core, a post that newbies should search before posting to avoid duplicate questions. The reason I'm amused is because this is a duplicate - there have been lots of posts recommending those new to PM to search first and ask questions later.

Of course, IMHO, if any node needs to be duplicated avoid the dangers of duplication, it's a request to search first.

Which this is.

So it's good.

So I'm amused.

Definitely a step along the path to enlightenment.
