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.

No, apparently not.

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. ;-)

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?"

Everybody wonders what the heck JMRA is talking about all the time anyway.

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...
