I decided to check out the archives after this discussion started, to see if
they have become more useful. I searched for, among other things, "apple
wood", and got no results, even though I had introduced this subject not long
ago, and it is in the February archives under the subject "apple wood".
Thhen I did a search for "apple", and got the "no matches found" message
again.
If you can't find things when searching the archives, it is quicker to ask
the question again than to go through the entire archives looking for your
subject.
I think the search function is useless.

Nothing wrong with discussion, but there are topics that have been
done so much most of the members who could provide answers are tired of
chiming in on the same old thing. In which case the archives may be the only
source of an answer. At very least, looking at what has been said can help a
new member pick up where the old info left off instead of reinventing the
wheel every time.

Reading the archives is good but new discussion and information is
not sediment. Even if a topic has been disucssed many times, bringing it up
again opens it up to new members or new points of view. You can never get
enough knowledge and everyone has something to contribute.
