jmra,
Don't I know it!
I finally had to get out of the house so I went on a bike ride and then had to turn around halfway. It got raining too hard, plus I forgot my rain gear, but at least got in 11 miles before turning back.

If a question is asked, why isn't a simple answer adequate? Most especially if the response is immediately responded to after the question.
I also see multiple re-posts ad nauseam in a single response.
Why do this?
Very few times do I see such re-posting help clarify, if anything, re-posting wily nily seems to muddy things up.
Rant off.

Because after several pages, the original topic gets lost. 
If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you carry a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

Can't a user edit his own posts? In this case, if Abraham corrects his misuse of the word "to", then everyone will wonder "What the heck was jmra talking about?"jmra wrote:"Too easy" not "to easy"Abraham wrote:But, for some apparently, that's to easy...

Re: Why Do So Many Repost The Original Post?
jmra,
That's beautiful!
But, only a meager 3 re-posts in 1 response?
Heck, our more generous brothers and sisters like to stack 5 or 6 re-posts per response that ultimately have no meaning whatsoever.
When I see this peculiar phenomenon, I'm reminded of scat jazz singing...
