I don't want to start duplicate threads...

...which is why I ran a search for "AA-12" before posting a video about the AA-12 shotgun. No hits, so I posted it, only to find out that it was already out there.

Is the search function helpful to avoid duplicate threads? I assume this was human error on my part.

The search function is very helpful to avoid duplicate posts.

Sometimes if you don't get a hit on what you're searching for, you may want to try a different variation on what you're typing in, and maybe that will help.

That is what I came up with after typing in "AA12"

Searching is a good idea, but remember...To error is human. To forgive is PAFOA! LOL

No problem...reposting happens to everyone!

ETA: Actually, I got more hits just by typing in AA-12 instead of AA12!

Yeah, I don't think its a big deal if it is an oversight. This one doesn't come up a lot, but it does every now and then. Just do the best you can to search. That is all you can do.

Dont get discouraged.

if your refering to the "duplicate posts" rule, i beleive thats only for YOU to post duplicate posts in diffrent sections, if someone else posts a duplicate of what you posted, i think its ok.

maybe a mod can either verify or deny this for us.

Dupes are a pet peeve of mine, but it happens. If you make an attempt to check for dupes and it happens anyway, no one's going to fault you. That's why this isn't a violation of the forum rules, because no matter how much we try to prevent it, it's bound to happen.

Dude! I'm guilty!

I didn't do a forum search for dup posting threads before posting my own dup post thread.
Not intentional negligence....just I thought with the new/old rules, it hadn't been discussed yet.
My bad.

Chambered......no disrespect intended! I had to chuckle when I noticed this thread.
There's no doubt that I have a giggling sarcastic streak in me - but I'm not a insubordinate smart-ass.
I apologize if I'm seeing the lighter side of my posts whereas you see it entirely different than me.

I'm signing off the topic though - I spend nearly all my PAFOA time in the first three rooms in the discussion area.
