Starting new thread on BST

I'm looking to buy something (an internal ZIP drive with USB, not IDE). Now I see there's a poster looking for an internal ZIP, but IDE running right near the top of the first page. My question is, should I start a new thread for my post? Will it be considered inappropriate/rude to post in the current one NOT started by me? Or on the flip side, will it be considered a waste of bandwidth if both of us were looking for very similar things? Thanks

Please start your own WTB thread. I agree with you it would be more efficient to add your own request in the existing thread but this would also be considered threadjacking

Gotcha. Thanks
