Neverending "ICH" problems

[captexas]

It seems every 2 days or so someone new has an "ich" outbreak and instead of doing any searching/reading for themselves, they post a new thread wanting to know what to do. I don't know about anyone else, but it's getting somewhat annoying. I think it would be a good idea to discuss fish disease/treatments at a meeting and then put the info in the Library section of the website so people can be refered to it.

Maybe take one of our "better" Ich threads, and make it a "sticky"? Another forum I'm a regular on, one of the more prolific posters has as his signature: "Use SEARCH, Luke!".

Seriously, the best thing we can do for these folks is point them to the appropriate thread and gently remind them to use the "search" function. One of the stupid things RC does is disable the search for beginning posters - encouraging them to post rather than look and see if someone has already gone thru it before!
