I don't start many (any) threads but before I do (did)...

[blue sky at night]

I always looked to see if someone else had ALREADY posted the exact same shit...just saying.

1. The threads move so fast down the line, it is

sometimes difficult to know if the matter has already been posted.

6. Another way is to do a Search..

2. Amen.

Admittedly, I usually control F a keyword (instead of using the site search), so I may end duping someone I have on ignore. I should use the site search more.

Also, one can sort GD (or any forum/group) by start time. That helps when things are moving fast.

Oh, and I have several posters on ignore who constantly post duplicate threads. That seems to help a little bit.

4. I Forgot About the Ignore Poster Feature on DU

There are a few posters that continually post cryptic or nonsensical messages that I plan to use it on. Why do folks bother posting messages that no one knows what they're talking about but them?

3. I am not finding site search on mobile safari.

But I find it on the desktop browser.

5. I saw a thread just like this a couple of hours ago...

7. Valid point in the OP notwithstanding,

that's pretty funny!
