> Hi Shar. I wonder if there are two reasons why these questions get repetitive. Firstly the site has visits from newcomers who don't know about looking up old posts or tips, so just ask their question. And there are also people who don't want to look up old posts because they want a response from a real live human being. I've done the same. Rather than look up a subject which I'm sure has been mentioned before, I prefer to post it on the board so I can "talk" to a real live person. I don't have many of those around me, you see!

Shar- I agree. The newbies don't know enough yet to do searches. Sometimes those of us with a lot of mileage on this board can step in and help em out, if we feel like it, even if the question has been answered a hundred times before.
Yes, it's boring sometimes, and a lot of them never aknowledge our answers, and indeed are never heard from again. But there's always that one-in-a-hundred who gets an answer from a fellow-human and is grateful and becomes a new member of the PB team.That being said- If there's one more thread on *Weight Gain on Celexa!* I'm gonna scream!. . . . . -Neal
