LOL.

Seriously though, I think some people either don't search or don't know some key tips to searching

1. Ask yourself if the topic may have been discussed already (what's the likelihood that we never discussed our own free agents)

2. Enter in specific key words to help your search. If you just type in "free agents" it won't help. But if you know you're talking about our own free agents then you have to figure a name that isn't mentioned often otherwise is there, such as DeMulling

3. Remember to check past the first page of threads that are called up when you search

4. Consider when the topic may have been discussed. For example we probably weren't talking about DJ Hackett vs. Bryant Johnson back in July so filter your search (use the "advanced search" option)

Now some people will say "I don't have time to search. I'm not on the site all day, etc." To which I say that's bull. If you time to post, you have time to search. Sure the system isn't perfect and we all miss thing sometimes. But it sure seems like a lot of people don't put any effort into it at all.
