Right, now what's this business with 'Oh please, ..someone else mentioned that once before' or 'That's a YART!' going on here of late.
If the vast majority of people adding to the thread have not related their opinions on a particular topic then surely they are warranted to do so (an indication that the topic has been touched upon with a link will suffice).
After all we all are just reiterating the information of others and/or other opinions on it anyway. Nothing much discussed here is entirely untried, nothing is strikingly new or novel. Doesn't mean it's necessarily rehashed; when topics are rediscussed they often take new unexpected twists.

The question on the tip of some oh-so original, smart-alecky tongue, 'Is this a YART too?' is answered here:
