"I just find it a bit humorous that some people’s main posting contributions are telling people something’s already been posted before. lol"

Makes you wonder how their personal lives are going.

Probably about as well as the “Grammar Police”

One particular poster (a long time FReeper, I might add) would delight in going to all the threads he could to point out people’s mistakes.

First time and only time I became a stalker. After he flamed me on a particularly bad day where all I wanted was an adult break from the colicy baby, I followed him and just posted “Grammar Police” in replies to his nasty posts.

He stopped after a day or so.

What have you got against the Mods? They volunteer to police the duplicates/triplicates/quadruplicates/etc. Why shouldn't comments about a particular story be centralized as best as possible?

The reason I'm saying this is because I use FR as more of a research tool and less of a chat room. It's nice when people take the effort to find an earlier thread, and bump it instead of posting a new one. It's easier for them, too.

I understand wire stories get posted with different headlines and such but still . . . and if you spend any time on the Articles page you don't need to miss a thing.

One other thing: sometimes I leave a link to an earlier thread on a later one precisely because I want to read the comments on both. If people are so uninterested in reading other people's comments from an hour earlier, why are they posting comments in the first place?
