No offense to the poster.
It just seems like we are getting a lot of strange niche posters here...
...like the guy who posts countless stories about pit bull attacks, one after the other.
... and Willie Green, who posts nothing but public transportation stories one after another, all day long.
There are others like Astronomy Picture of the Day and others. But they post one per day. Not one every five minutes.
Couldn’t we have one master pit bull thread for those people?
And maybe one master archaeology thread (here on a political news forum) for those who have interest?
Just sayin....
These threads have been running for at least 10 years that can remember probably longer, my memory sucks.
I actually like the archeology threads so if there’s a dedicated one great, but otherwise it’s all really interesting if at least as a change of pace.
I dig archeology threads.
Sure, there are threads of special interest to certain people, that's part of the point, and it makes FR a more interesting place to visit.
Now, I'm not giving anybody a hard time, so please take this in the light spirit in which it is offered.

You will note that neither of us has been on FR for even half as long as it's been around.
And note that although I have been here more than twice as long as you, I would not presume to tell JimRob how to run his site, e.g. what was appropriate for thread material, or how to organize it. In fact, no matter how long I'm here, it'll never be long enough to tell JimRob how to run his site. I'm pleased to be a guest in his living room, am thankful for it, and contribute to its continuation.
I leave it to Jim and the AdminMods (hmmm, sounds like a rock band) to determine what's appropriate for FR. I don't always agree, but it's his site, not mine.
That said, since nobody's holding a gun to your head to read every thread, here's a piece of easy-to-follow advice, that I follow in similar circumstances:
Skip over the threads that don't interest you.OTOH, if somebody -IS- holding a gun to your head to read every thread, please notify the AdminMods. I think that is against site policy...
Cheers! and have a great evening. :)
I sympathize with you about chet99 and willie green, but GGG has been around for a very long time, and it’s probably one of the more popular and well liked ping lists around here.
The reason some posters seem to post “every 5 minutes”, is because they probably post several articles they’ve collected over the day for the ping list all at once. They aren’t constantly posting all day long, but in an hour, they might post a bunch of articles.
We need to know about those vicious brutes. Often, it is a case of a fatality.
Why are you here on this thread>? are you a niche bitch poster?
