Well again.....thank you for those who replied with valid inputs. Your suggestions are most certainly well appreciated by me, and maybe others lurking about. :B
As for the forum and the apparent movement it's moving in, and to whom moderators this may pose as a concern, I have a suggestion. There should be some form of automated pop-up check list upon trying to generate any "post new topic" thread. Maybe something that asks the user a couple pre-screening questions like:
1) Have you done any and all research possible on the topic prior to what you're about to ask?
2) If no then use the back button before asking.....
