JonW Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 This question may have been asked before but I'll ask again anyway. Why is it that people bother to take the time to type out 'repost' to let us know that they've seen an article before? Surely if you open up a post and realise you've seen it before you just exit the post and continue with your life non the worse for the experience. Am I missing something here?

JonW Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 I probably don't spend enough of my time on here to understand it properly but some people seem really upset by reposts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonW Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Maybe there should be a section for people to post in if they are worried that it might be a repost!!! In that section no-one is allowed to state 'repost' If you don't want to risk reading a repost then don't go into the repost section:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Men like to be the best at everything. So if they see someone has posted something that they've already posted/know of they like to tell you. Why does it bother you if people say it?

JonW Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Why does it bother you if people say it? No it doesn't bother me. I was just curious to know why people bother to go to the effort of typing it rather than just ignoring the repost! My question has been answered.

Pete Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 It's the second best thing to having a "SLAP" button on the keyboard TM* to illustrate the stupidity of people to not using the search button to check that something isn't already in the archive. *Trade Mark Colin Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
