I look at the title and ask if there is something that appeals to me or can I add a good remark. I also glance through previous replies to make sure I am not saying the same thing.
I used to tell people that a topic was covered previously but I am tired of doing that now.
How do you respond?
I will do several things.
If it is a repeat post I let people know so they can reference old posts if they want to. I'll try to bring up a new idea or feedback. Sometimes summarize older post. New posts I think about what to say and say whats on my mind. If I see someone or I am attacked I call them out and report it to Administration. We are all part of a community here.
I'm new around this fun little place, but I'm also not going to be shy. Be real, or go away. If I think I might be able to make someone laugh, or think, or I'm just feeling silly, I'll put in my two cents.
