I don't find any joy or purpose in reading a new thread, researching whether there's a previous thread on the subject and then tripping over myself to point out to the unsuspecting poster that said duplicate exists. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that Thor really got your message, Edw. Seems like you are a bit fed up with people who immediately post, "Hey, this topic was posted a few years ago. Use the search engine." And we do use the engine before we post a new topic, and the engine often does NOT find that previous topic so why jump on the new poster? I think we should let people respond to the newest topic and maybe after some time let a poster know that in a "far away galaxy" decades ago, we talked about this composer or score or whatever and then post that URL for HISTORICAL perspectives. Am I close, Edw? I think you're correct joan and you are spot on! It seems to bother the men on the board more than the women. That is NOT a sexist comment, just an observation. Of course, there are fewer of us. Not sure why it gets their shorts in such a bunch. There might be a few more issues that are more important here.

Not sure why it gets their shorts in such a bunch. There might be a few more issues that are more important here. Ah, I misunderstood. Well, for me, it's all very easy. First of all, I'd like for all discussions on one topic to be in one thread, for easy reference and search. Second, I believe firmly in a discussion moving FORWARD rather than in circles; which you can only do after you've built on preceding arguments rather than repeating them. Third, after having been here for so long, I'm not interested in re-typing what I've said before; so it's much easier for me to refer to previous topics or posts I've made on the exact same topic. But as I said, I'm starting to 'slip'. I don't care as much anymore, not even when zooba makes that inevitable second or third or fourth reiteration of the same topic. I might chime in once or twice, but others, like Bruce Marshall, are free to take over that particular reign, if they so wish.

Edw for one night only i agree with thor in that its good for same films /scores to be in one thread. It isnt imperative but its logical. Try this edw...go google and searching filmscoremonthly/threads/film name ...(or whatever keyword youre looking for)....much better results.

Yes most revealing thread. Especially the fact that our Huey argued the opposite then!! Ha ha Joanie: "Oh i think some of those old threads are amazing, literate, and delightful to read. I don't want them to die" Dana Wilcox "... As for me, I'm with Joan -- love to see the old ones resurrected so that the continuity of the discussion is preserved."
