Do you search for previous questions before asking your own?

I tried to ask a question today, and checked first.
Turns out I already asked that question 2 years ago, so I passed.

@filmfann : I’ve done the same thing. :-) And I’ve also passed.

Hell no, I am waay too spontaneous for that, and besides, there are plenty of question detectives that will link or point out that ones question is not obsolete or has a sister/brother/ distant cousin question for reference. haha

I wouldn’t want to deprive the Bloodhounds from tracking down the renegades anymore than I would wish to throw off the scent of the grammar police.. lol

I should but I don’t. In the past, if the question I want to ask has already been asked, the Fluther system has alerted me to this and then I have dumped the question.

@filmfann Does that mean you’ve come full circle and have to go around again?

I usually check, but not always, and if I am echoing a former question, I look to see when it was posted. 2 years or more ago and I post mine anyway.

Yep. Easy enough to check. But is my question details take the basic question far afield of what was previously asked, I go ahead with posting it.

Sometimes. Usually I don’t.
And sometimes I just ask anyway.

No, I either have a hunch it’s been asked before in one form or another, or fluther will let me no as part of the question asking procedure.

Nope
