Question about thread starts.

[Persistence Of Memory]

What should we do? Let's start with a thread in politics or such.

How many pages should we go back before creating one....3 pages....4 pages????? To make sure no doubles??

And for ones with a tricky title, we should make sure we open them up right, to make sure no doubles eh?

I suppose we should read out loud every thread so we don't skip one. Make sense?

Then should I examine another board and make sure it is not a double. Go back 3 or 4 pages too????. Examine all tricky thread titles
??
Could you please tell us the best method in this. I don't mind spending an hour or 2 to create a thread as long as I have proper instructions....................Thank you in advance.

Ohhh....Where is the upload button for posting a sig?

I just do a search on keywords. One or two searches depending on the topic. This almost always works. Keywords (single or phrase) you know just have to appear in the body if not the title. If I get no hits, I look at the first page of Politics and Current Events.

Don't think I've ever missed duplicating a topic that way.

If you plan your keywords right, you can vector them in pretty accurately on the subject of your search.

If its a new story and an active topic, you'll find it there.

I do like the OP

I will give a quick look to see if there are any similar titles. If not, I go ahead and start a thread.

Let the Mods fix it, that is why they make the big bucks

When I start a thread, I get anxiety. So embarrassing to get it chopped within minutes.
