It happens so much to me on another site that when I do post what I think is an interesting subject, someone will make reference to the initial thread and will lock my post. It's gotten to be a joke to some, they'll use my name if this situation happens to someone else, i.e. this has already been posted by and then use my avatar. I spose I should check to see if what I'm going to post has already been posted, but sheesh, I'm not on the computer 24-7 and if I happen to find something late, I'm sorry. Wow, that kinda came from someplace dark eh??
