Default Is the whole SIAL thing getting OTT

Ok, this may be just me, but the whole pouncing on stuff that has been posted one before, often ages ago in a long dead thread is starting to get irritating.

I appreciate that it's annoying if 20 people post the same link in a week, but if it's old, just leave it already, most of the posts declared SIAL I've not seen before and I'm sure it puts people off posting genuinely new links just in case.

All IMO of course...

I'm sorry, but this complaint has been levelled before, making it...

Having said that, I do agree that sometimes people get carried away in their zeal at denouncing something as SIAL (myself included occasionally).

almost as bad as the "that will buff out" replies to crash damage threads.

I totally agree with you Lum, it drives me mad, especially when the SIAL brigade bellow their ickle war cry at a newbie.

Surely those who have read every post, in every thread on here should be the ones that are laughed at.

It's like a playground in-joke FFS.


(I am also sick of Chavs and reading the term 'organic' in EVO)
