Do people actually check Newest Nodes before they post? I assume not. In fact, probably most people just post a node as they enter and don't bother to check if anyone has posted anything remotely similar to their thoughts. Hmm.. I'm not saying that should be a requirement, but I do think it'd be nice not to have three posts of all the same content and have to comment on all three. Err, I'm just being anal at the moment - but I seriously think - especially on days like this when there's something different that most people will notice - to check to see if anyone else noticed it first and just comment on that one node - instead of creating new nodes with the same content. I just wish ppl. would check first.. I guess it kinda goes with my pet peeve of ppl. not using Super Search first before posting. Anyways, sorry.. just a small rant.
