Now, that would be a nice study. How long does it take for a post from birth to burn out, to come back, again, as the original question? I was just thinking about this a few days ago. The 'gon has been, to me, noticably redundant. When this happens audiopool enui sets in and anything can happen from that. Usually negative stuff. It would be interesting if there was a spot on the 'gon for NEW news. What's going down in the audiophool think tanks. That kind of thing. Maybe something to provoke interesting exchanges. What are the best ICs for my...? Can't takes it no more. I only recommend what I own, or use to own. Others recommend every cable under the sun ( or what they have read about in Stereophool or the like) whether they have heard it or not? And others, who have listened to every cable (get a life) recommend a plethora of choices, which means diddly squat most of the time, given the electronics/component match ups. Hey I'm going awry, here. I love the 'gon, but things are just plain ole dull , lately. What can we do to mix it up? Ed that was greati timing with your post. Took the words right out of my mouth. peace, warren
Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives?
What CD player has a volume Control? Newbee in the world of analog? What are the best cables for the money?
Sound Familiar?
I spent some time searching the forum archives, and was amazed at the wealth of information contained within. Often, many individuals have and post legitimate questions. Although, these questions (in many cases) have been answered time and time again in the forum archives.
Unfortunately, due to the redundancy of these questions, many of the well established Audiogoner's will no longer respond to these redundant/repeat questions. This may leave the individual asking the question feeling somewhat neglected, not realizing that their question has been answered and/or discussed many times previous.
I also find it interesting, that Audiogon management explicitly states in the "What We Will Decline" section of "Moderation Guidlines", that questions of repetitional nature will be filtered and declined.

The forum archives are a tremendous resource of information. Is there a manner in which individuals posting in the forum could be directed to the forum archives BEFORE posting their particular question? I mention this because the individual posting, may find more complete coverage of their particular question already exists, yielding them much more thorough results/information. Could the Audiogon moderators utilize "keywords" of a newly asked question in order to refer to the archives before that particular question is actually posted?
Would this be considered or construed as unreasonable?
Could this be considered "overmoderated"?
Any suggestions/input?
