I think 632756 is a good example of a problematic thread for a 'solved' tag.

The question had been asked and answered, but I thought there was still more to the issue and said so. Maybe I didn't help the OP (maybe I did?) but I got a /msg from another monk to thank me for that node, so it was of some value.

It can be frustrating to find that things have already been covered when you visit a thread, but i think thats only a problem because of page load time, to be honest.

ObTangent: without wishing to complain in any way shape or form (I love this site to death - and I'm very thankful to the people who keep it running), is there a known reason for the long-ish page load times? If not, is there anything I could do to help? (This sort of thing is my day job, presumably along with many other monks).
