Speaking as a one-time noob myself, I can say that at one time, I didn't know HOW to search. Well, ok I knew how to search google, etc, but more appropriately, I didn't know WHAT to search FOR when I was having a problem. So, when I posted a question that had already been covered, there were those that were kind enough to just direct me to existing threads that answered my question. I think what would be nice would be if a thread's OP had the ability to close, or at least flag for closure, their thread when they've had their question answered.
