That's a little harsh. While a review of the recent bug report topics would certainly be appreciated before posting, there are hundreds of topics and thousands of posts in the alpha forum, and I can certainly see why someone would just post without doing so (especially when it isn't just one or two issues that could easily be searched for). It is better to have repeated bug reports than to miss some issues if reporting them is too much of a bother.
After the next update I'll compile a 'known issues' list, which should make it easier for people to check if something has already been reported, so it may cut down on duplicate reports. That said, duplicate reports can also contain additional info which may be useful.
