Using the search function often helps you start a better thread. You can ask a more precise question; you can say "the prevailing opinion seems to be ABC, but I need to know what you would do in XYZ situation..." etc.

Repeat questions happen all the time in the dog group I moderate, but it's a Yahoo group and the search function isn't very good. Plus, people like to blather on about dog food and poop, and I'm not inclined to stop them. It's easy enough to ignore anything that doesn't interest you.
