a question will be rejected if it has been asked before... What if a better answer is now available? Or a new member knows or sees a better solution? With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]

Quite a thread drift ...IMHO such a hypothetical technology is better used to automatically link to older questions. Maybe connected to a reminder when previewing. Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language)	[reply]
