Almost never will you see someone say that. I'm sure it's happened though, but not often and not that I can recall.

I'm not trying to be rude to you. I'm just pointing out that it's not the normal thing here, nor is it the normal thing on many other forums going back to the days of BBS's. I was new to BBS's in the early 80's (as were BBS's in general) and I was similarly doing what you did and ask my own question in another's thread. So you aren't the first one to be admonished for this.

Certainly you should be able to see that if everyone thinking their issue was the same as another and put them in the same thread then we'd have a very long thread with many replies and many times some replies not obvious about what member or issue they are intended for. And as I said, frequently the issues are not the same issues, nor do they have the same solutions.
