When someone posts the same long cut and pastes

It's not a cut and paste, it's the complete text of the subject of the original post.

Why do you have such a problem with me posting it?

Perhaps you are as unfamiliar with computer terminology as you were with the word "manumission." Here's a tutorial for you:
In human–computer interaction, cut and paste and copy and paste are related commands that offer a user-interface interaction technique for transferring text, data, files or objects from a source to a destination. Most ubiquitously, users require the ability to cut and paste sections of plain text. The cut command removes the selected data from its original position, while the copy command creates a duplicate; in both cases the selected data is placed in a clipboard. The data in the clipboard is later inserted in the position where the paste command is issued.
unless you're transcribing that entire document each time, you're using the computer cut and paste commands.

And my only problem with it is that you keep posting the same thing over and over and over, which is just lazy. It was interesting the first time as an example of the Marble Man hagiography at its peak, but what was the point after that?
