"To keep some of the folks off your back"

That is not the reason to do a search.... for most important questions many people and many ideas are included in the already existing threads...

And EVEN IF everyone were willing to retype everything they had said in the past about a given subject you would have to wait around until everyone stopped by the forum again after you asked....... and some great answers are in the archives from people who have died or sold their Mercedes and no longer stop by .....

NOT LOGICAL. NOT EFFICIENT.
