I totally agree.

Telling newbies to look in the archives is like locking schoolchildren in the library at the start of the year. I reckon we're here to have a conversation with each other, not exist under cones of silence in the same room. There may be a whole new discussion to have about these things with a change of context. different time and different active members.

I don't know about how anyone else uses this site but I haven't gone anywhere but the "current topics" since the first few months of using this site! What about others?
