To start with, I did not see that other thread that you posted and I would guess that hundreds of others did not see it either. Matter of fact that happens all the time. Many times the only thread that I read was the duplicate thread that you are so worried about and the only reason I found out it was a duplicate is because someone like you posted it instead of just going on with minding your own business. I'm guessing that doing such somehow makes you feel important.
Here is a thought: why don't you talk Jim into putting you on as that full time Moderator that Bill O'Reilly is saying that Free Republic should have.
So to extend your [flawed] logic, it also means that "hundreds of others" got to see
both threads, and all of the mostly hilarious comments.
Hint: my little post just said "more:", not "you dupe posters should be burned at the stake..." sooooo... get over it.
