Have to say I agree
I check in regularly, Havent got much to say at the moment, but notice not many others have either - the forum is as dead as I have seen it for ages
If everything was answered by a search to previous posts, there wouldnt be any reason to post any new threads and the forum would die of death because noone talks to each other anymore.
Welcome Gus
Well kirsty I disagree little a instead if I may, I also hope to see "new threads" but "new" in the real sense, rather than repeating the "same old threads" + often older threads can provide a more complete answer (as in this case) because they had time to develop and get to a thorough conclusion (see the table of piano models I linked, for example).
However, I was just suggesting Gus a faster way for the future (which btw is exactly the way I myself used to find the link for him) and only after providing him the info he was looking for, nothing more nor less.
@Gambold: thanks for providing us a "life lesson about avoiding to provide life lessons"
(I am afraid you are taking it too seriously, what you name as such I much more humbly call and mean as "friendly suggestions", I prefer to leave "life lessons", which are a serious thing, to other places and times, not really a post in a music keyboards forum. )
PS: all the above imho and respecting others', of course
