If someone takes an AP or Reuters story that has been around for hours, adds three introductory sentences, then treats it as new then I have an issue.

Basically, there are blog pimpers here who post 15 articles a day in order to get hits to their own websites. If you look at their posting history, they post their story and never reply to the thread again.

If it bothers me, then it bothers me. I just don't think it adds to this site. I think the bloggers and personal category should be filled with original works, not rehashes. But, then again, I'm a guest here.

exactly. and apparently the host here isn't so bothered as to make it a posting rule. again, one millisecond to determine who's a blog pimper and hence to be steered cleared of. when you let this sort of minutiae bother you, you are in danger of spending much of life annoyed.
