“You on loan from DU?”
Oh no, you found me out! :)
My only point is that most people are not on FR all the time, and when they get on they usually only scan through he first page of postings, so if it doesn’t appear in the first page they miss it. So reposting something that doesn’t appear in the first page is quite useful for most people, and I think that is the official posting policy in FR.
It used to be you could “bump posts to the top” by simply commenting on it, but that’s gone. I wish there was a separate listing of “most commented posts”, so that one could easily get to the posts with the most interest.
I do understand your point and I don’t mind a repost
or two. I am actually a fan of Victor Davis Hanson,
also although he was among the NR contributors who
dogpiled on Trump. I do believe I had seen that
particular post 3-4 times already on FR. Some thread
posters check the search function before posting but
I will admit that many do not.
