Does anyone else find it irritating when you specifically check to see if something is answered?

Yes , wholeheartedly , I agree with you for the time you use to answer the question with information already previously submitted is indeed somewhat of an aggravation because your time could be used to greater advantage in assisting someone else with their query ; We are both in empathy with each other ! ( One of my own pet peeves is when yours is , obviously , the better answer - it is not acknowledged in a prompt and timely manner ! )

Happy & safe hoidays ! :0)

Lol....I'm the same way...especially if the question said it was asked 5 minutes ago and 0 answers...then BOOM...10 answers after you hit submit.

You are not alone.

It happens all the time. It only annoys me when I write what I think is a brilliant, unique answer that no one else is marvelous enough to have thought of and then---- someone did.

Doesn't bother me that much. If I really don't feel that my answer contributes more or better info than the prior ones after that happens, I just delete it. No biggie.

I answer questions, I rarely go back to see what people posted. So no I don't let little things bother me.

LOL yea that makes me angry also. it seems to happen after I eat lunch.

Doesn't bother me that much ... DOH!
