I agree that the number of duplicate items being posted here is a problem, and I think the number of new posts here is going to keep going up as the year goes on. Is it possible to put "note to posters" item somewhere, maybe a permanent item at the top of the list, reminding people to look at recent items before posting a new question?

PS - We also seem to have a new joker here. E-mail me here if you would like a few tools to "discourage" him.

Hi Mr. Yourdon. I see you now have a note at the top of the "New Questions" form reminding people to look at recent posts before starting a new thread. I hope this helps in keeping the duplicate threads in check. Thanks for your rapid reply to this post. <:)=
