The 12th time this article has been posted....

Link? I searched half a dozen times before posting it. And don't link me to the AP article. That's not the same one.

One of my pet peeves here is when folks b***** about posting articles more than once. Just fyi, some of us don't mind. It gives us more opportunity to see it. Obviously if it is posted twelve times it is worth reading.

Why not? The Washington Post and other papers routinely pick up a story from the AP or Reuters and print it word for word in their papers. That is the purpose of AP and Reuters, they act as a super reporter for all newspapers tha subscribe to their service. Subscribing papers are then able to publish AP stories word for word. This is not like the Washington Post quoting a NYT article. They are publishing the same article word for word.
