Am I the only one around here that occasionally gets an idea for a combo, goes to look it up, and finds out the person checking to see if the combo already posted IS in fact the one that already posted it?
tl;dr: Do you sometimes forget you posted a combo and try to post it again?

More often than not, if it doesn't evolve cards in the database, it seems like someone has posted it when I check, but sometimes that person is me! I don't know whether to feel good about already posting it or stupid for not remembering I had done so.

Terakhan, Knarf, others, does this happen to you too?

Yes, several times a month. Most often I look at http://magiccards.info/random.html and think about to create a Combo of a Card shown to me.
Then I use this site's "Search Cards & Combos:" and sometimes I have to discover that the way I was thinking the card could be used has already been done before. So I click the next random Card and think again.

And yes, sometimes I recognize that my name is on the list who created a combo utilizing the card I'm actually thinking about; then I get a smile on my face and recognize that I'm getting old, here's a nice quotation which may reflect this:

"It is not that you will go mad. It is that you will beg for madness."—Volrath

Due to database updates of Sync some Cards are missing for some time. So some combos cannot be found due to the searh algorithm and our practice to post Combos with Images of Cards from new expansions.
When I have enough time I use Google and search for
site:"mtgcombos.com" [Card Name]
and get a list of all [Card name] text occurences in all our site's forums. This helps sometimes to find the previous combo posts which could not be identified due to database excluded cards.

It is also fascinating that some of us try to do a better Combo using the same Cards someone else has posted short before. I do so, terakhan does so, too,... I love and enjoy this friendly competition and the knowledge of the game mechanics and rulings I can get and increase (most often from answers by gericault and terakhan). Thx guys.
