To wish that posters would read what others have said

And merlot. Yes, it is VERY frustrating!

It makes me hopping mad!! We've had a thread about it before (quite a long time ago) but it didn't change anything.

Some people just like the 'sound' of their own voice

Oh, crossed posts with you this time, Aka!

I've noticed that posters often give credit to a previous post, mentioning the poster's name, when just one post above is your own post saying exactly the same thing.

You feel like screaming, I'VE JUST SAID THAT!!

Sometimes it can seem as though one's posts are ignored, if there's a heated discussion/argument going on between other posters.

Just read your posts Ana and merlot !

Yes, isn't it annoying.

Exactly Elegran I had to post 'am I invisible?' only today as it was obvious my post hadn't been read was missed.

Crossed posts, merlot, but along the same lines!

You got any particular thread in mind Elegran?

I think it's ok to answer the original post without reading the rest of the thread. Probably better really because you are not being influence d by the opinions of others.

I agree. I do wish people would read all of the thread before they wade in sometimes. Especially when they say what I've already said, but get the credit for making their salient point!

Yes, Elegran. It's very annoying when you try to keep a post brief and to the point only to find that somebody else's post is almost a carbon copy but three times as long. I also try to avoid posting at the bottom of a page because you can bet your life that people will only read from the top of the next one.
