Alea I thought that but modesty forbad me to say it ?

Isn't that annoying Ann - sometimes I feel like shouting 'I've already made that point at the beginning' hmm and it's even more frustrating when posters then pick up on the second person's point (which was really yours) and say 'good post' or similar.

I think I just need to grow a pair man up and not let it get to me grin

Oh, did you just say that? annsixty gringrin

What is really funny/frustrating/infuriating, kittyand annsixty is when somebody else REPEATS what you have said and everybody goes "oh brilliant point, well done, well put, excellent post" etc hmm and you want to say "Excuse me, I just said that!" grin

Sometimes trying to catch up on a long thread it is possible to miss a whole page out, inadvertently, and that can cause confusion.

I do agree kitty. Several times I have made a point in a post and then it is repeated further down thread as an entirely new thought.
I hasten to say it has never been important or "intelligent" just my own opinion. I just find it slightly annoying but then in RL I am often overlooked!?

Thanks J52. I maybe haven't put my op very well. ignore me, I'm in a funny mood! grin

I'm not really talking about really long posts ww but more general ones!

Good morning Kitty. I am reading posts at the moment! not necessarily posting myself. I didn't want to ignore you. smile

Sometimes the title is not indicative of post content!

But on the other hand they are generally ignored so I guess that's OK.

I am definately guilty of that as I am too impatient to read through what seems often trillions of post and I tend to simply put down my thoughts.

kittylester Sat 06-Feb-16 08:03:05

can I make a plea that people read the thread before posting.

In the last couple of days I have seen a few threads where people have either repeated previous posts with no acknowledgement or asked questions that have been asked and answered previously. I realise that in fast moving threads it can happen but im not talking about those.

Obviously, this is a greater sin when it is my posts that have been ignored! grin
