Sorry, vent here, and please don't flame me for saying this.....

I'm getting really annoyed reading threads in which the exact same thing is said over and over again! Please please please please PLEASE read the existing posts before adding your own, and know what the original post was about before adding your thoughts!

If you don't have time/don't want to read every post in a long thread, then do what I do - just stay out of that thread!

Okay thanks, I hope ya'll don't hate me for saying it, but it's driving me nuts. I just finished reading new posts in a 20 page thread, and I bet 100 of those posts say the same exact thing! :deadhorse

i'm noticing new threads that keep popping up regarding new nurses wanting examples of report sheets.....that's a little annoying, but i still reply.

please, please use the search button, top rt hand corner.

there always seem to be new threads about report sheets.

use the search button, top rt hand corner.

if people post thread with say downloadable report sheets or something the mods should collect them all and make a sticky.

the if someone adds a new kind of sheet or whatnot then they can add it to the sticky...

I think this was already covered about 6 and a half weeks ago, if you look thrugh the posts, back about 76 pages.... you will see someone else complained about the same thing. ....

Sarcasm.....It's a way of life....

ok, ok...

i sit here corrected.:)

thank you, miko.

thank you, cardiac.

i understand fully now, and definitely agree.

but still...

what do we do about those 30 pg threads?

how far should a member read before risking duplicate/inapplicable comments?

Some repetetition is fine - I just get really irritated when it's several pages worth of the same thing over and over.

Hmmm...methinks you didn't read my second post in this thread....

Just to clarify - I didn't mean topics that come up over and over again - like "how much $$ do you make" or "NCLEX 200 questions" because I can just skip those threads if I don't want to read them.)

:chuckle

Is someone holding a gun to your head, forcing you to read these posts that you object to?

You know what bugs me? People who tell other people what posts they should or should not read. And yes, I'm answering the first post and haven't read every post in the thread. I'm giving my opinion on the OP's complaint. That's because I'm a self absorbed nitwit who only cares about what I have to say plus I'm already wasting enough of my life by answering this thread. Why, I couldn't tell you.

Another thing I hate is cross-posting where someone raises a point and then someone else comes in and steals the thread by posting about something different.

Does anyone else hate cross-posting in threads?

Freedom of Speech. It is our Constitutional Rights. It is nice to have all the posters to read all the threads before posting; but it is not going to happen.

What bugs me (hijack!) is quoting 7 or 8 paragraphs of the original post. For heaven's sake, I read it there the first time, just respond!

Miko, I have noticed the mods will shut down a thread when "everything that needs to be said has been".

Guilty as charged. I don't read every post and probably annoy you.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

LOL..i hope i am not repeating something someone else said, because i myself only read about half of the post..

my conclusion to all of this? the original op hates long repeated posts to a thread, yet he has repeatedly posted in order to explain himself, and yet we have 4 pages of this already!!

I think you look really good :)

Also, you have a VERY valid point. If someone is going to have a strong opinion about something, atleast read two or three pages of the post. I feel that is far enough in,, after that.. it is pretty much repetition. Most things have been clarified by the third page.

What about the dead horse beating going on in the yelling doctors thread. I like to get updates on the threads that I've posted on,, that one just keeps going and going,,, like the energizer bunny. The energizer bunny beating a dead horse. lol
