yes, I was very aware that this is a duplication of many other nodes directing new Monastery members to search before they post.

I know that I ask palutry questions in the CB and to SOPW, check my previous questions here if you like as examples. I have just had enough of the ^M repeated questions and needed a rant... :)

IMHO, I imagine that posting repeated concepts such as "search before you post" (a la look before you leap), are somehow required practice while following the unspoken guidelines on the neverending path towards mastery. :)
