One more comment,

Naming a thread YART does nothing to benefit the readers, except possibly to make us think the thread may not be worth reading. I use the name of a thread to remember what's in it. YART doesn't help.

Also, while I find value in posting links to previous discussions if they are being YARTed, that's no reason to try to discourage the thread from progressing. I personally have not, (and don't plan to) gone back and read all those old threads unless there's a reason to look something up. I have noticed that quite a few of the current active users are as new as september or october. Now, why should we try to burden them by expecting them (me included) to go back and read everything lest they repeat. *I know that I am YARTing, but I feel as though it needs to be said AGAIN, because every time someone cries YART it just drives me crazy. Please post the links, but please don't expect me to spend the next 2 months reading everything back there before I post again, for fear of being YARTed!
