There are many decent posts from yesteryear that should be regurgitated so you have a single collection of ideas in a single thread. But instead you get the same questions asked over and over again. The answer you might be after could be hidden away in any of them never to be found again (eg. Koffee's post for help a week or so ago).
People don't use the search function, so you're always going to get new posts on the same topics over and over. If I see one more "I'm Cat 5...about to do my first race!!!" or "What wheels?" I'll spew.
If someone is looking for an answer to a problem or a query, the first 4 or 5 posts will have answered it. From there, it's people banging on and on with their own agenda.
Threads off the first page might as well not exist.
