Problem is, if you want/expect some people to ignore your thread, then the next thing you will be posting is a reply along the lines of
"What, nobody knows anything about [insert topic], you guys suck, I'm out of here."
The people who have seen the subject time after time, are the people who can probably answer the slight variation that perhaps you have asked.
Most forums follow a rule that you should search before you ask questions, by NOT following this convention, its the poster of the duplicate question that is being rude.
I have been on forums where you would have got a "Do a search" reply, then the thread locked.
So, in general, find a thread on the topic you have a question on, then, if you have any further questions, add to THAT thread, people will see that its re-surfaced and look at it. Aslo when you do add to the old thread, try and let people see that you have read it, refer to things in the thread that you are not sure on, or doubt the accuracy of.
