I have to back up Geoff on this one.  I just did a search for 
messages on Cho and came up with the following subjects (partial 
list):

Fudge Naive or DE? (was "is there a reason?")
Re: Does Snape Think Of Draco As The Son He Never Had?
What do Muggles Know? (Was: Re: Christmas Gifts from Dursleys)
Re: Metamorphmagus!Harry?
Re: Snape Vampire Theory: Where did this come from?
Re: Hagrid and thestrals
Chocolate Frog Cards (was: UK vs US Harry Potter)
Re: Dumbledore's Family?

If Cho's name is even mentioned in most of these messages, I missed 
it.  So if I ask a question about Cho that was answered two weeks 
ago will I get jumped on?  

In the interest of sanity and harmony, I propose a little 
compromise.  Posters will make every *reasonable* attempt to see if 
the information is already there.  And readers will just skip the 
messages that have been answered to their satisfaction.  Afterall, 
we still have several years to go before book 6.  Most of what we 
are saying now will be discussed many many times again before then.
