Great post, had a good laugh on this one.  As a young Canadian, I am embarassed for my peers' poor communication skills and inability to express themselves clearly.  So many replies in these forums are just asking for clarification.

Interesting counterpoint though, about currency of information and effectiveness of search tools.  I humbly agree, to a degree, that it is difficult to find topics and better boolean logic or the ability to search with a time parameter would help, but this is an excellent way to find information and engage in animated discussion.  Kudos to the milnet.ca staff.

Cheers all, Merry Chirstmas!

As an update to this, our search function has recently been upgraded. We should be enjoying both faster and more accurate results now.

Though this is excellent news, it still won't fix the problem of people not searching for answers first. Sadly there is no foreseeable solution as far as I am concerned.

Thanks for the laugh! And happy I didn't fall into that unfortunate category.

I've been on a few forums and the archetypes you presented are alas found on all of them.

I believe the proper phrase is "You can't fix stupid."  But, then again, that doesn't mean people won't try...

Inspired by a recent thread in one of the recruiting forums, your first post should not bear any similarity to the following video.
