Way too many vanity threads lately. And way too much trash being posted. Please try to stay on topic (politics). Also, please do a search on a significant word from the title of your article before posting. This will reduce the number of duplicates. And, along these same lines, please use the original titles on your article posts. Do NOT edit the titles. Do NOT use "My Title" titles. This will also help to reduce the number of duplicates.
And, whatever else you do, please DO NOT post from DEMOCRATS UNDERGROUND (or any other such trashy un-American socialist hangout). Free Republic was intended to be a socialist free zone. We've gone to a heck of a lot of trouble to make it that way. Why in the world would you think we would be interested in having their trash posted here?
And QUIT trashing each other. You know who you are. Knock it off! Way too many flamewars and feuds going on. And, while I'm thinking about it, QUIT trashing our conservative candidates. If you want to criticize someone's position on some policy, have at it. But do not trash or smear the man. That would include Browne, Buchanan, Bush, Keyes, et al, or whomever else may be your favorite trashee (examples listed in alphabetical sequence). The idea is to get more conservatives elected, not to trash the ones you don't like. If you want to trash someone, make it a Democrat. Thank you.
And QUIT dredging up old communist propaganda to smear our conservatives. Sheesh! Whatever else you may think about our guys, they did not hijack airliners full of people and crash them into buildings. No, my friends, not even the dreaded CIA. Anyone who would believe (or even suspect) that crap is no FReeper. I've been pulling this crap whenever I see it and several people have been banned for continuing to post it. I do not want it on Free Republic. Any current FR poster who believes this leftist propaganda, please logoff immediately, send me your resignation via email, and I will delete your account.
Thanks,
Jim

My: "Outside of bandwidth concerns,Your: "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"So you'd rather just not listen? Or is the stage not
big enough? That's my question.
No, dear. My point was that all is well outside
bandwidth concerns. However, seeing as to
how bandwidth is the concern....

Thank you for this. I took a long break from FR because I was so tired of seeing this forum bashing the Republicans just as much as the liberal forums do.
As a conservative, I hope that we can all work together to defeat the real enemy, the socialist liberals who will destroy our nation if they are allowed to gain power again.
I appreciate the effort by Jim and the staff to redirect this forum to its original objective.

.. then whatz the problem, dear?Or are we just wasting bandwidth?The problem is that duplicate articles
are a waste of bandwidth, and Mr
Robinson wants them to be greatly
reduced in number. I'm sure you
don't think bandwidth is free, nor
that Mr Robinson is being obnoxious.

Wow. Would you please not speak for me?
The wasted bandwidth in parallel posts consists solely of original posts. Replies are unique and constitute, individually and cumulatively, the essence of FR.

Hear! Hear!!
You've hit it right on the head, buddy!
Whose definition of Conservatism do we use?
Are we to accept the globalist agenda, and not criticize it just because a promoter of it might see fit to put an R after his name for whatever reason?
I hope that we will still be able to discuss what true conservatism should be on FR!

Jim, How do I report what I feel are bugs with the Web Page(s)? I sent a second email to the WebMaster, since I had not gotten a reply from my first one sent several days ago. And the bug is still there. thanks, Marv

Her views are fair game or her looks are fair game? Chelsea's looks are not fair. They are gamey.

When a thread is deleted, can we have a brief explanation? My curiosity kills me!
Amen, Brother!
Or at LEAST a 'DELETED' word in the sidebar, so we don't click something that attracts our attention, just to find.........
This thread has been deleted

Does posting pro-Palestinian trash further the conservative cause? Just wondering, thanks.

While we're on the "Things I'd like to see ended on FR" topic, how about a moratorium on the Catholic bashing posts.
But if we did, could THESE be far behind?...
...how about a moratorium on the Muslim bashing posts.
...how about a moratorium on the Atheist bashing posts.
...how about a moratorium on the Communist bashing posts.
...how about a moratorium on the Democrat bashing posts.
...how about a moratorium on the Skinhead bashing posts.
...how about a moratorium on the Calvinism bashing posts.

A single PICTURE takes up more 'bandwidth' than any duplicate post.
IMHO, duplicates SEPARATE the replies from one another and FULL participation in the debate is spread across the dual (or triple...) posts and the effect is then diluted.
It would seem to me that instead of deleteing any extra post on the same subject, they could somehow be merged together. It may add a bit of work for the moderators, but it would save MUCH more for responders.
Now, if you want to see a
BANDWIDTH BLACK HOLE.....

I agree with you. Bashing Chelsea for her looks is in bad taste. Leave the girl alone. If she says or does something stupid, then we can call her on it. Otherwise, let her live her own life.

What if we made the author's name a keyword for each post? That way, a keyword search of the name would reveal the prior post. Or would this screw up the whole keyword concept?
