I’m going to downvote this just because I think +4 points is too high considering you didn’t provide links. I don’t mean to discourage posting such comments without links, and wouldn’t vote one into negative territory, but I think the links add a lot of the value, and should especially be given because you are criticizing someone new to the site for not searching for the old discussions.
Are you aware of the prior discussion of the topic on this site in particular?

I agree. I won’t edit links in, though, because jsalvatier already provided that information and I don’t want to karma-snipe.
