It's okay to have repeated articles/topics in GD. Some sink

[MerryBlooms]

And then someone swoops in and says, "Dupe!", without ever even kicking the original post! Leave your "Dupe", especially if it has more responses than the original, that might not have been seen because of time or whatever.

GD can have multiple articles on same news, unlike Breaking News.

I appreciate all folks posting news, even if it's a repeat, because I work and caregive for my sister. I often miss the original post! Thanks!!

1. I agree. Time zones, work schedules..whatever. Don't click on it if you've already seen it or one similar

Easy. Some just wanna squawk about something

2. Kicks appreciated. But I have learned to "let go"

like when I get an astounding (for me) 92 rec's on a post and someone comes along and duplicates it.

I check a bit, not extensively, before posting, including the home page, which does not honor my extensive trash and block lists.

How do I ask for kicks? Thusly.

PLEASE KEEP THIS POST KICKED.


I enjoy the occasional computer graphic.
Slows me down to make one up and post it, but adds to the pleasure.

3. If some knows its a dupe, they should kick and rec your original

Not just look for dupes, and not give you also credit for original post.
I am super busy these days. I try to go back and rec original posts, but don't always do. I apologize and appreciate, all ya'll do!

4. Yes, that's true, but tonight I find five or six articles about the Florida maralogo seat being flipped,

right on the opening page of GD... I didn't go through them all to see how many were the same article--
but it's always a good idea to take a look before posting something like that...

5. Guilty!

I admit I single out dupes. I get tired of seeing five or six postings of the same article on page one of GD. I always look before I post anything.

6. Just check to see if there are already two or three

repeats of a post before running here to post the same thing - seems pretty easy.

7. Amen!

That's what I keep saying when I get blasted for my "Dupe" comments.
