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.
Just to annoy you.
You beat me to it.
Everybody beat me to it

I am glad you brought this up. I don't much mind the folks who re-post the entire post and respond. I get crazy about folks who seem to get a sick kick out of taking one line of an entire rant out of context and addressing it in a way that has no resemblance to what was actually posted. It is as if they are getting a cheap thrill by playing with the words of a post. Sometimes it feels like a person has suddenly found themselves in a "big gun" contest.
My goodness! It usually results in a completely off topic direction taking place.

As it's trending, ALL posts will be consecutively copied.
Won't that be a good thing?
Maybe, it should be mandatory?

Since you're not quoting the original message, I have no idea what y'all are agreeing with...
