Good post SSCULLY. Many new members come in unaware of the Articles and How Tos, some may not understand what the "stickies" are or how to use the Search feature. I find it works best to try to answer their question to the best of my ability and politely tell them about the Advanced Search. Hopefully, they learn to use it for future reference.
Answering the same questions over and over does get old, but sometimes, new information comes out of those threads. Evolvement.

As well, new threads ( by new members ) on a repeat topic yield the solution and steps to a problem more often than not.
This gets the I have XYZ happening, with a list of what was tried, and what the ultimate solution was, and the thread is not 5 years old, with no answer, just a list of what should be tried ( you know, what an advance search produces on the correct terms used
).This is one of my favorite posts to the thread above :
OP - One of the things that makes this site so much better than other forums is that there are not as many ill-tempered people on here busting peoples' stones every time they ask a question. I see that you are new here, so maybe you didn't pick up on that yet. Please don't stink up this site by crapping on people. If someone asks a question that you don't want to answer, then just don't post any reply.

Before you post a new thread in a particular forum, review the sticky list!

At the top of most forums, you see threads that stay at the top of that forum. It's because they have been designated o do so with a "stickie". They get this designation as they contain very imformative info that is asked repeatedly.
Such as this forum.

No, that's not it. I didn't get him until I moved out to the country. (I got him in Oklahoma . . . there's nothin' but country / hick in that cat.).
Last night I was workin' on a project and the cat is running around, sliding on the floor, bouncing off the walls and then hopping around (not a lot, just intermittently) but I saw no reason for him to exhibit such behavior. (usually, it is caused by a spider . . . he goes nuts and tortures them)
I later found out it was tiny flying insect.
I was starting to suspect the cat was dropping acid again. He used to do that. Cats on acid is a frightening thing to see.

I remember them pushing that back in the 60s!
