Wow, you can't be that thick in the head. Can you?

 

I must be missing something simple,but why is it a problem when a new person has a question about something that somebody else asked about a while ago?.
Is it ok if it was last week,but not if it was last year?
Honestly,I don't get it why doc,or anyone should get bent out of shape over a new question that was asked prior.

 

if you don't get it yet, after a while on HF hopefully you will.

 

When you ask a question in a 2, 3 or 4+ year old post, who are you asking the question to? The people who started the topic in old posts are long gone. So really what is happening when you dig up old chit is asking the current board a question, but adding a bunch of members who are not even here any longer in the loop. If you actually want to try to get in touch with a member that had information important to you in an old thread, Private Message them instead of necrobumping. https://www.hummerforums.com/forum/n...bumping-23220/

So like I have asked 100s of times, start a NEW thread, link the old one, or link 3 or four old ones, to it if you want. Then you can get the current membership to chime into in a new thread with the actual people who are here now discussing it.

There is never a reason to post in multiple threads to ask a single question. It's like walking into a room with people having conversations and just yelling out your question multiple times, then impatiently waiting for your answer from someone you just interrupted.

Part of moderating is board maintenance, keeping sections orderly and current. Fortunately, it dose not include changing diapers or wiping snot off noses.
