I joined because I wanted to. I stayed because I liked the people here and the conversations we had/have. There are people here who challenge me on a daily basis. I like that. You, Stewart, are one of those people.
I don't see that we need 15-20 threads on the same book, but I don't see the harm in having a few. I don't see the harm in a handful of new members having their own "new" discussion when the last post in a like-minded thread was well over a year ago.
I also don't think it's extremely friendly to have new members pounced on so forcefully, and so regularly, about the same book, from the same member. Let the mods do the moderating. They can combine threads.
Why do you think every newbie needs to know your opinion? I'm sure after they've gotten to know the search function, and read the other threads on TDVC/DB they will know exactly how you feel. I just think you could let one go without your input.....that's all.
That's why we have mods. Maybe you could pm a mod and ask for assistance in dealing with new posters instead of slamming them? After all...they are discussing a book aren't they?

Stewart said:"And if they start a thread saying anyone read the da vinci code??? when it shows that they are so damn stupid to think that nobody would have discussed it before deserves all they get. Search before posting, search before posting...it's called good housekeeping."
