Easier solution to the DU server problems
Edited on Wed Apr-18-07 02:51 PM by jpgray
Use search, or simply take a cursory look at other threads on the topic. Don't start a thread that contains the exact same ideas as another thread. If your opinion isn't unique, express it in the area where like opinions have already been shared. And also, if you find a reply that matches up wholly with yours, post your agreement there rather than in your own personal thread about it. Remember the Reagan fiasco where everyone believed their opinion on the coverage of his death was worthy of a thread? Most of these threads had exactly the same things to say. We all want a big spotlight for our views on controversial issues, but most of the time we don't deserve one. I know that's been true for me, anyway.

2. I hear Skinner uses the money to buy $1000 haircuts and huge houses
I won't even bring up his propensity to purchase incandescent light bulbs.

6. That's ridiculous ...

Sheesh ... some people.

Edited on Wed Apr-18-07 02:44 PM by jpgray

9. Well, on the less controversial issues, it should be okay
Edited on Wed Apr-18-07 02:54 PM by jpgray
On the more controversial issues, a cursory look around will suffice. (I edited the OP. :P)
