How did I come to that conclusion? Very early on, I realized that if I only replied to what was addressed to myself, I was splitting the conversation into groups, whereas one needs to understand the entire input. It took a little while to figure out, but became obvious when I saw that people seemed to be asking the same questions over and over again on the same thread - that happens when you haven’t read previous replies. It taught me to read an entire thread before I stuck my nose in.

Another thing...I lose track of which thread I am replying to at times, because articles that appear on the same topic, which might best be included in a current thread which has the attention of those people interested, are posted as a separate Post and an entirely new discussion takes place with new people, who are now asking the same questions as the thread before it...or still current. On top of that, we get a Vanity Post related also to the original. And then, with Fuddy as an example, there are a dozen or more posts one after the other, some running concurrently.
It's really like a big kindergarten with a hundred shrill voices all wanting to be heard at once.
A long time ago, (I've been around too long) if a Post came up that was related to a topic currently under discussion, that link would automotically be included by a participant, and that way the information the new Post contained, was available to refer to.
The way it works now, there's an awful lot of bread being cast upon the waters, but all that comes back is a lot of soggy bread all over the beach.
You need to walk miles to find it and carry a sieve.

Josh Lang’s Photos of the Fuddy Crash Are Not the Same Plane

The photos of the Loretta Fuddy Cessna crash that Josh Lang provided to the media? They weren’t of the same plane. The plane that crashed with Fuddy in it had a window between the door and the tail; Lang’s photos don’t. (I’ve got photos at my blog and in the first post I’ll post them so you can compare the 2 planes)

Lang apparently had photos of a DIFFERENT plane ditching in the water and gave them to the media, claiming they were of this crash, and apparently the media didn’t check out the genuineness of the photos...

Now why would Lang do that? Why would he post images of the area with no passengers or anything else in the water ANYWHERE, rather than taking photos of what was actually there and giving those to the media?
