what is double posting


Double Posting is the act of one user posting the same message in the same thread twice, good netiquette would be for the poster to delete the second post and add that it was a double post so that you don't look foolish, but on these boards you have a set time of 60 minutes from the original time of posting.

I hope that helps :-)

Phill.

(edit) P.S. also it can imply that you post the same message in another thread in the same forum/another forum on the site, but if it is on topic for the particular thread you're in then you should add a link to that message from the original thread in the thread you would have posted the message, confused? I know I am :-)

I am so broke and poor that I cannot afford to donate to get a green star.

I am going to a homeless shelter this saturday. I will be there to help and hand out coats. I just hope that I don't end up there, because if I miss another mortage, I might just end up there with my family. I've been out of work since 2002 due to discrimination and physical and mental illnesses. They got so bad I was put on disability.
I am from District 268 in the Deneb Sector of Vilani Space.

Don't read the thread then.

Ferchrissakes, conversations often flow where they will.

Oh no, did I just post in the wrong thread. And now you had to read it in the wrong thread? What will our friends the aliens ever think???

You missed the point on this because of ignorance. Fuzzy was referring to the topic of donations being brought up. There were a few thread with heated discussions on that topic. Hence, Fuzzy's comment.

Ferchrissakes, conversations often flow where they will.

Yes, you're right, conversations flow.... There was no conversation started here. Just a blatant, off-topic post which had nothing to do with the threads topic.

Oh no, did I just post in the wrong thread.

Yes!

And now you had to read it in the wrong thread?

Only because you leapt before you looked, out of total ignorance. You had no idea what Fuzzy's post was in reference to, so you just decided to spout off.

What will our friends the aliens ever think???

Who cares? I highly doubt they're reading this thread, let alone these fora, anyway.

This thread was not meant for general conversation and neither is it's new replacement. It was and the new one is meant as an FYI. Got it? Good.... (-:< >:-)

Nope. I said what I wanted, when I wanted, and where I wanted.

Yet a general conversation is what it became. Odd how that happens. C'est la vie.

Will the inhabitants of SETI@Home be able to handle the aberrant thread with it's eeeevil off-topic comments, stay tuned folks!

Yep, you do that quite a lot, don't you? You know? I have been refraining from replying to any of your dumba$$ posts because they are just that, dumba$$. The only reason I stepped up to the mike, this time, was because you posted against a friend of mine and without even the slightest idea what she was referring to. C'est la vie....

Let me be of some assistance here. I will correct your grammar:

There, that's better.... Now, show me an example of an "eeeevil off-topic comment".... (-:< >:-)

Don't you ever tire of being wrong? I did not "post against" anyone, I posted my thoughts, nothing more.

Only because people like you have an insatiable need to spout off, off-topic, with a total lack of facts to back up what you say.

Once again with the over-the-top rhetoric. I'll ask you again: Do you honestly believe that this stuff advances your position? "Insatiable need?" "Total lack of facts?" That's silly. I simply don't agree with you.

Exactly. Just as you do.

Not much to argue there, except this: I have read a scant few of your posts that are just "lighthearted" or just "general conversation". You like to tell people how wrong they are [See your next statement below....], and how right you always are.

You know? I have been refraining from replying to any of your dumba$$ posts because they are just that, dumba$$. The only reason I stepped up to the mike, this time, was because you posted against a friend of mine and without even the slightest idea what she was referring to. C'est la vie....

Don't you ever tire of being wrong? I did not "post against" anyone, I posted my thoughts, nothing more.

See? I'm wrong, your right. It's never ending....
And, just to refresh your memory, you did reply against someone. You were NOT just "posting your thoughts". It was a reply to Fuzzy's post, without a clue what she was talking about. You assumed she was talking about some fantasy you dreamed up....

Only because people like you have an insatiable need to spout off, off-topic, with a total lack of facts to back up what you say.

Once again with the over-the-top rhetoric. I'll ask you again: Do you honestly believe that this stuff advances your position? "Insatiable need?" "Total lack of facts?" That's silly. I simply don't agree with you.
