Why oh why do people quote the first OP…

…especially on pg1. We’ve all read the OP. Why do you need to quote it? Subsequent posts as the thread moves, fine. But why the whole first post?

Just opened a thread and read the OP. The very first response quotes the OP. I mean, come on! Even more annoying when it’s a long post and you have to scroll past the lot.

And breathe.

It’s so annoying!

I know this isn't really true but I almost like to imagine that they think their response is superior so they have to quote the OP.

I'm really not sure why!

Why oh why do people post the same thing over and over again?

Some people just aren't that bright!

HappierTimesAhead · 11/03/2024 20:10

😂This has been bothering me as well!
