You have no idea how it irks me to no end to have to read a post like yours. Not because you did anything wrong to express derision, sarcasm but because I in fact always do a title search to make sure I don’t post anything already posted too many times. So, as I always do, when receiving a public service notice such as yours, I will do the search again as I did before posting it in the first place. And as is the case, the *ONLY* singular search result that was returned was this very same post.
I am going to take an image of it and post it here just to prove mt point. Thank you.
I just actually READ FreeRepublic , on a daily basis.
I have no need to do searches.
I don’t make Drudge, Fox and the UK media my first trip to the WWW. I come here for the latest news.
Just tired of the waste of bandwidth here because so-called FReepers would rather attempt to be the first to break news instead of coming here for the latest and then going out for other news that we have yet to see.
Search is easy. If you don’t know how it works, ask me, or someone else.
I’m really tired of donating serious money to support FR so that those that donate nothing can spend their days reposting the same five stories all day long.
If posters, not referring to you, would take the time to put in key words from the title and the article there would be many less duplicates. Many don’t bother.
Just to add to the point, the best searches use one unique word from the TITLE search, not the keyword search. In this case it would be just ‘beast’ or ‘derails’.
Sometimes hot stories are re-posted after they make it off the first page! Very frequently they’re re-posted every few hours, sometimes for DAYS.
