Mike - Those of us who have been posting on TarBoard (this TarBoard) for some years have grown to accept that certain topics are bound to recur. Some are like old friends, and it's good to see them again and maybe spot something new. A few topics fall into the 'FAQ' category (eg what happened to Nancy's father?), but here again the questioner will be politely referred to a site (if any) where there is some assembled info on the topic, or a TarBoarder may even have a new theory on it. I cannot remember one single occasion in the last 6 or so years when a newcomer was ever made to feel embarrassed by inadvertently picking an FAQ topic (FAT).
I am posting this because of an unfair implication in another posting. I should add that there can be a huge difference between (a) different people raising the same topic, and (b) the same person raising the same topic.
