Whatever you're about to ask, someone has posted something on the topic somewhere. So instead of asking, use the search feature or google because it's all out there.
The purpose of these forums is to provide an environment for senior members to endlessly repeat themselves and admonish n00bs.
Under some circumstances, it is appropriate to discuss new cycling products -- so long as you have spent no less than 3 hours exploring the company website, all other forums, and the rest of the internet to make sure what you were going to ask wasn't already posted.
It is always OK to start a thread whining about repetitive threads. Although you'll see many of them, threads complaining about repetition are not considered repetitive, nor are single word posts that have been used hundreds or even thousands of times.

By the way, and not to hijack this thread, what chain lube should I use on my bike? It's a Cervelo RS, by the way. THE best bike money can buy, if you didn't already know that.

Everything has been discussed to death. All that is left is insulting the OP. Eventually, all the insults will wear out and technology in cycling will advance enough so that new questions can be asked until THOSE wear out, then we go back to insults, repeat.

Yes, but nice bikes use Campy and SRAM. Cervelo's can keep the shimano.

If it's raining, use fish oil. Lock the bike outside, though, unless you're not married. You should use a U-lock, the way Sheldon Brown demonstrated.

I can't believe I'm replying to this, but. . .
Q: Why do people feel the need to post a thread asking a question when there are already 2 threads on the front page asking the same question.
A: They're too lazy to read the first page of posts for an answer to their question. In addition these questions are rarely well thought out or phrased.
To your point about real life, if my friends asked questions as dumb as many of the ones posted here, I would respond with a facepalm and please tell me you're joking. If a stranger asked questions that dumb, especially repeatedly, I would probably endeavor to avoid that person as I don't enjoy their company.

Thank goodness this thread was created. I am looking for some new tires. They have to be completely flat resistant, roll like a race tire , and under 200 grams. Thanks in advance. Oh, I also would like to know what the best chain lube is too.

As for the last part of your reply, it's really that simple. Mess with your friends on here, avoid the strangers that annoy.
