Breaking News Repeat Posts

IntegrityRocks

[Integrityrocks]

First post ever. I would like to suggest that those who get so annoyed at repeat breaking news posts try to chill a bit and remember that there are four time zones in the U.S.. Also people in other countries check in for news.

I am in Alaska and by 6:00 am my time it is already 10:00 on the East coast; so what some Freeper addicts may have seen before is new news to us in Alaska.

So be kind and don't get so annoyed; there are way more important things to get wound up about.

It doesn’t bother me if people duplicate. I could care less. Sometimes I miss one and catch another.

Same here, but if I find an earlier thread, I often post the link with the message:

See other replies on previous thread.

I had so hoped that you had failed, but alas ..................

Allow me to inveigh. I asseverate that there are often unnecessary iterations of the same nascent topic. I don’t want to see FR become a kakistocracy.

(See, I pay attention to your threads). :-)

Okay, Mister Always Has To Be Post #102.

I could care less. Sometimes I miss one and catch another. I wish there was away they could just merge them.

If I see a duplicate post that has seven replies on it, I will occasionally post an "already posted" live link to the thread with seventy replies.

Are some FReepers actually getting mad over duplicates? When I post a new thread I will try a search on several variations on the title just to catch previous threads but sometimes even that doesn't work. I too would like to see them merged.

Yeah, I know.

And if we don’t get over that attitude, it’s gonna be a tough trek up the mountain we have to climb.

There’s no perfect candidate. It’s so stupid to insist that if the guy running doesn’t fully agree with me, I’ll just sit at home and let the bad guys win.

Not just stupid, but self-destructive and unpatriotic.

Right now, ANYBODY is better than Obama and his minions. Politics is, like it or not, shrouded in gray. It’s not black/white, good/bad, but rather clouds of all shades in between.

Right now, the skies are very dark.

I'm on Glarkol, the sixth moon of the planet Azzhellaan (well, that's as close to the real spelling I can get - the language doesn't translate well), and I know what you mean.

See, I get the news BEFORE you guys on earth do, but they'd kaarzorch me if I ever let you know ahead of time. It's tempting sometimes, but being kaarzorched is no way to die, believe you me. {shudder!}

I say again, I hate people who HAVE to be post #100.

I hate people who ARE post #100.

[humblegunner]

is it that their lives are so miserable that they know nothing other than how to be hypercritical? so much sweating of the minutiae.

You've made some capitalization errors there. Did you know?

Not quite that simple, but you sum it up as well as anybody....

I'm on Glarkol

THAT is why you are not getting the post cards! I have been putting an "e" on the end.
