Bart13 I got onto some other guy because he said he had heard phil mentioned a lot and I had already posted links to phil for 2 years 1002 times to trump Mish and his 1001 times - so I did a search on my posts (shades) with the word "PHIL" and I found several links returned by the search engine - do you guys not have search? I explained how I had learned about succo doing a search for him using the search engine and I had never heard of that guy.

I asked that guy is it better to be given a fish or taught to fish? What is different about my search of "shades" posts with the word PHIL that I get posts with links back and you don't? Does SI Bob got me on a special version of search the rest of you aren't getting? If so my deepest apologies - if not learn to use the search engines and become a better fisherman.


Yes, I did search back about a month and found nothing (although I'm imperfect and might have missed it) and yes I do understand about answering the same questions many many times. I'm on a number of boards where I have answered the same questions or slight variations many many times. That's part of the reason I have a web site - so I can just point folk there. On boards that support taglines, when I added a link to my glossary, the questions went way down - that's just a for what its worth and not a suggestion, just in case.

This board has no sticky message feature of which I'm aware, and I'm not complaining - just stating a fact.

I've also built more than a few macros with boilerplate inside them to help resolve the situation.

The bottom line is that I honestly don't know of any good answer, and it appears that any other observation I might make would possibly be misunderstood and produce a flame or ill will - so I'll just thank "after the gold rush" for the link and crawl back into my cage.
