What the hell does that mean? Am I supposed to have ESP to know ahead of time where all the "appropriate" topics are?

That's why this whole subject is so silly - let the @%#$ computer do the work - we need global search. Until Ian either switches software or hardware (i.e. changes the resource side of the equation) this is a moot point.

Quit trying to push it off on people, it's not a people problem, it's a technology problem.

If you really are going to complain that people don't post in the right forum, then there needs to be a defined list of subjects per forum, and the moderators need to (gasp!) move posts to the "appropriate" forum - whatever the hell that means.

Sorry, but this is a personal pet peeve of mine. It's EXTREMLY annoying and time consuming to do what IceChickenX did, and I feel his pain - but it is NOT the problem of people posting. If it matters that much than the Mod's need to do the clean up.

If the existing mods don't want to, hell I'll do it as long as someone defines the "right" place for everything to go so these little guessing games are a thing of the past :p
