I understand completely. You see folks doing this over and over.. posting summaries in new threads.. and you think.. gosh.. they should give it up.. but honestly its a service just like the folks who do lists. It saves alot of ignorant posts fighting over facts.
What we need is a Free Republic Wiki that integrates with the threads so that we can access them and manage articles that summarize our understanding of each topic so that as new facts and info is added we don't have to keep repeating ourselves in the threads to maintain a memory of what has already been established.
That sure would be helpful. I imagine it will take some money. I've contributed twice my customary quarterly donation during this FReepathon, and I hope everyone else here will, too.
