Check The Archives for Pete's Sake!

I think it's a great idea and a valuable resource to have the BBS archived.
However, some people seem to be offering this as their only response to another
person's question. As someone who frequently turns here for at least preliminary
answers to various questions, I think it would make the site more useful if those
who chose to respond to a post would do a little more than simply refer people to
the archives (which are actually quite vast; it's not as simple as some people
make it sound to find a given topic). Of course, if someone can't answer the question
themselves but recalls having seen it here in the past, I suppose the best thing
to do would be to suggest giving the archives a look. However, it would also be more respectful to not imply your exasperation at the person's unawareness of the archives while suggesting this (i.e. no capitalization, italicization, or !!!).
Just my thoughts; no one has to agree (and most likely won't).
