There i fixed it seems the kids are getting distracted by the typo

[GoCubsGo]

1. Nope.

[58Sunliner]

2. Of course not.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. or spelling is correct???

[mobeau69]

6. LOL!

[Iggo]

8. .

[cwydro]

10. Ha!

Good one.

[malaise]

12. You win the thread

[patricia92243]

23. Yup

[unblock]

4. It's either that or spell check. Nybody can do both!

[Nevilledog]

14. Nybody......lol

[llmart]

5. Nope.

It didn't used to be this way.

[SlogginThroughIt]

53. Yeah right.

Been this way on forums since the dawn of time.

[llmart]

55. I'm specifically talking about DU.

I've been here a long time. I have no idea what other "forums" are like because I'm not on any others.

[drray23]

7. most people dont even read posts in a thread before adding to it.

[cwydro]

13. Oh, I know, that Fauci fracas yesterday was a prime example.

[drray23]

15. I must have missed that one.nt.

[cwydro]

20. It was a classic.

[GusBob]

30. Yep this irks me to no end, not reading replies

Why are you on a discussion forum if you are only interested in what you have to say?

There was a thread last week where the same comment was addressed/ explained again and again in the body of the thread and still at post 35 or so the same question, which had been asked and answered three times, is asked

[drray23]

33. its even more frustrating when its your thread

and you clarify something because it was misunderstood or you were not clear enough. People ignore your further posts and it spirals out of control. I had to self delete before because of that.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. Eh? nt

[USALiberal]

11. Like incorrect words? Nt

[Sneederbunk]

16. It is difficult to check because the posts jump around.

Sometimes they disappear altogether.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. Hey, I just posed a 'Doesnt nybody look to see if it's already been posted.' OP 10 min before yours.

.

😂

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. .

[GeorgeGist]

18. I was busy...

Sorry, Nybody.

[Quixote1818]

25. I always do a search for the article title in the box above, and if nothing comes up I post it

however, sometimes something similar will be posted but the person who posted it changed the name of the article etc. so it doesn't come up in your search. Also, you can check the current page and not see it but someone posted it earlier enough that it is pushed off the front page and often if someone else posts the same thing then the person who posted it first will give their own article a kick or someone else will comment on it and then you have the same two articles near one another suddenly. It just happens from time to time that the same stuff gets posted even when people are checking.

If I realize the same thing was posted before mine then I will delete mine. But if I posted first I will leave it up.

[tblue37]

34. I do a keyword search, but sometimes still miss a prior post. However, the Kayleigh posts

we're not hidden. There were so many that there would be several in a row near the top of the list, and several more further down. It was as though the first page of GD was at least half Kayleigh covid posts!

[demmiblue]

26. I, know. Right?!

Personally, if I am aware that I posted a duplicate thread, I delete it (I am not perfect, but at least I try... lol).

It is usually the same people over and over.

[lamp_shade]

28. Nope.

At least 20 K-Lee Macaninny posts... SO FAR.

[cwydro]

29. With apologies to Emily Dickinson: I'm nybody, who are you?

Are you nybody too?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

31. I know.

Makes me crazy.

Also, proofreading is important.

[Fullduplexxx]

42. Didnt relize this was a test

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

51. It's not a test. No one said that.

But it's tiresome to see multiple threads on the same thing.

[JHB]

32. Nybody lies over the ocean, Nybody lies over the sea...

Nybody lies over the ocean, so bring back Nybody to me.

Bring back, bring back, oh bring back Nybody to me, to me,
Bring back, bring back, oh bring back Nybody to me.

[Disaffected]

35. Seems more like Halfduplexxx.

[Arthur_Frain]

36. Lissen hear u lil shit...

nt

[MineralMan]

37. Of course not. They also don't check their spelling before posting.

That's DU for you, where people can post as they please in GD.

[Fullduplexxx]

41. Ageed . a simple typo is just the worst thing ever right ?

Omg and some missing punctuation .... the horror

[MineralMan]

43. No, it's not. We all make errors like that,

along with posting things that someone has already posted. DUers want to inform people of things they learn from the news. So, multiple posts are always common here.

The problem with calling such things out is that those who do so are likely to make their own mistakes and get some ridicule. Comes with the territory.

Duplicated posts are not all that important, really. They fall off the thread list pretty quickly, and do no real harm.

[cbdo2007]

39. Nope, in fact someone else just posted this same thing shortly after you did lol

[Fullduplexxx]

40. It was done to mock and make fun of me

[cbdo2007]

50. Well that's not very nice...

but I almost did the same thing on their post, until I saw yours, so I guess it is what it is

[WhiskeyGrinder]

44. Pretty sure this has been posted before.

[Kaleva]

46. It has. Many times over the years.

[Kaleva]

45. If you would have searched, you'd find OPs posted about this subject.

"Does anyone even read posts here anymore?
Been noticing it more and more... more and more new posts keep appearing and keep getting pushed down the page. So many of them have only a few replies because they don't stick around long enough to get read.

And then there are the duplicate posts: the same subject matter, on the same page, covered in posts by different people.

Are we just that much into writing, or are we being hacked? "

47. I don't mind repeat posts. I don't check every minute. If I miss something, I might see the repeat.

And if it is something I have already seen, I can skip by it.

I am more bothered by obscure posts.

[Bettie]

48. Sometimes you start a thread and

someone else is posting the same thing at about the same time.

Scroll on by and relax.

[GusBob]

49. Lets count the "leaving the WH at 630 " threads

up to 4 now

[demmiblue]

54. Like I said, it is always the same people (usually).

Look at me!
