You can take the pup out of Alaska, but you can't take the Alaska out of the pup.

I've found myself guilty of the same thing. I duped a subject that was only 2-3 days old, but it was about 6-7 pages back. It takes alot of time to go through all of these things. Maybe there could be a FAQ section. I know it's probably difficult, but it probably could be done.
