Hehe, this thread is great.
In other words...threads that, in my opinion, fit the topic of this thread.
So yeah, my two cents.

My questions is if everything that ever needs to be said has already done so, then why are we all posting here anyway?
This is probably the most valid argument when it comes to repeat threads/questions/etc. I've actually addressed it and offered my view several times:Thats one thing that ive thought about numerous times when people say a thread is redundant due to the question being asked before. Honeslty, pretty much every question regarding t husbandry seems to have been asked multiples times, if everyone, newbies and the more experienced alike were to all use the search function and never douple post a question, these boards would be dead and really fairly pointless.
A little more in-depth:It would weed out all the repeat threads, leaving the threads that actually have substance on the first page or two.
This mainly applies (in my opinion) to threads like:This is gonna be fun.
Oh, and btw Jason, I think I'm gonna borrow that line for my sig, too. Can you send me the code?
tjmi2k - If you ran a search for pretty much what you just said, you will find this has already been discussed many times before.
I will, however, take more of my time to give you the 'run down' as to why your couple sentence quoted above are not true.
If people would stop asking the stupid (or repeat, take your pick) questions, then the discussion forum's front page would be full of threads that are actually semi important or require more brainpower and discussion than 'why won't my rosie eat?' or 'does this look like premolt?' or any other similar threads.
This would lead to more intelligent conversation and people learning tons more than seeing the same five or ten questions asked over and over again.
There is also no way possible that every question has been asked. I continually think of things that I have never seen covered on AB (that doesn't mean they have never been addressed before), but you get my point. Keep your eye on the boards, you'll see. That is, if you aren't bombarded by all the 'noop' :? questions.
And as far as your missing the recent thread about this exact same thing...if you had taken the time to search and find it, it probably would have taken less of it than it would have to start your new thread and post your replies thus far. So saying you would rather spend time with your arachnids is another statement that really makes no sense.
Learning how to use this forum and its tools is just as valuable as learning about the arachnids you and I both love. Something everyone on these boards has in common, even if that's the only thing.
I believe your question has been answered and there is no more reason to post on this thread. Of course, I expect you will respond to me, which is fine. However, based on what you said, shouldn't the mods lock this thread down now that your question has been answered? :?
(obligatory smileys so people don't think I'm being mean):

- Should I use a heat pad?
- How often do I mist?
