I think your missing the whole point of why I made the original post.
Most new members will come to a forum, read the stickies and basic rules.
Then use the search function to find basic questions they may want answered.
With literally dozens of independent threads open, where do these people start finding the information they are looking for?
On top of that, as I mentioned in the OP, often these threads carry misleading or even incorrect information.
Nobody is denying any member the right to sumit a new thread topic, but....

You're making a critical error in assuming new members actually "read the stickies and basic rules" and "use the search function" let alone are aware of its existance. I think the average persons joins with a question they want answered and, given it's an open forum, make a thread. You can't stop it and creating an entire thread to complain about it and, intentionally or not, singling people out, is just an excuse to flame and make people feel bad.
This thread is a mistake in my opinion. Which I'm entitled to and have now voiced.
