When multiple threads pop up around the dame time it doesnt bother me nearly as much as dupes that show up all week long.
I can understand the "heat of the moment" regarding breaking news. Everybody wants to get that thread up and if everybody is doing that about the same
time your search wouldnt result in anything anyway.
But when you get a thread posted today on a topic that falls down off the front page then the same topic posted tomorrow then the same topic posted
next Tuesday, well, that's pretty irritating. A search should definitely produce results by that time and just the time on the source material should
be enough to tell you it's not exactly urgent or breaking.
Then there's just some idiots who dont know how to search. Like "I searched for 'purple monkey dines on eggplant monster testicles' in quotes and got
no results!!!" Of course they never bothered to search for "purple monkey" or "eggplant monster" just "purple monkey dines on eggplant testicles."
This tech is 40+ years old. People should know how to search. If you cant find it right away less is more. Check twice or thrice. If your source
article is a month old it's here somewhere I assure you.
