I have a feeling that the main idea behind this thread wasn't finding a .cab, but starting a debate on the subject of "search". Which it has done.

I know I don't have a lot of posts here that carry much weight, but I have spent over a decade involved with the Windows Mobile community. One of my pet peeves has always been "seach police"

I know it can be a bit of a pain sometimes to see a question asked multiple times, but realy, it's not something that makes a lot of difference to one's day. Being publicly berated for asking a question that has been discussed before can make a difference to one's day, in a negative way.

Please...please...please...when someone asks a question, if you know the the answer tell them. If it has been asked before simply post a link to it. True evangelists will gladly answer a question repeatedly. Others will quickly pounce on the offender. Which would you rather be known for?

Sites like this work so well because there are many, many, more of the evangelist type who willingly take time out of their day to help others. It would be a shame to see a good site gain a bad rep because a few spend time scaring away potential members.

If it gets out of hand, mods will take care of it. It's not a big deal. I've been a mod, I know what is involved.
