If you are new and come up with a post and someone in the past came up with one but it died, is it necessary to yell at the person?

I think the best way to handle it is to simply merge the thread (save space) and to explain the search procedure. I know I didn't really know how until someone explained it to me (and every now and then I do open a duplicate, because in my angst I was blinded in thought and didn't do a search. It happens.... I don't think a scolding or copping an attitude is the answer.

This is a great site and the mods (some of whom I call friend) do the best job they can and all of them do what they feel is best for the site and not for their individual ego, but they are human, the job I am sure can be tedious and sometimes they just have a bad day and say the wrong thing or you misinterpret it and feel slighted. Sometimes the answers are bitter, sometimes they are what you desire, but in the end, the mods give what TFP needs to survive and it has worked pretty damned good so far.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
