Why would you link me to that? There is no discussion there that is of any value above what's in this thread (there are no comments). Please don't do that; I realize it was only a couple seconds of my life wasted (plus the 30 seconds to write this comment), but I would really appreciate it if this didn't become a trend.

Sorry wouldn't do that in the future if that's so disturbing.

Thank you! Also, just in case: I didn't mean to be a dick about it, so I'm sorry if it came across that way…

I much prefer that if someone posts a dupe story that people go and comment on the original submission.

I appreciate it when people provide links to such previous submissions.

Better that than the trend of people posting duplicate content.

I generally agree with you. However, in this case there were already several comments on this submission, but none on the other (original) submission. In this case, as I stated, there was no value being added by linking.

And with that said, I think I'm done with this meta-discussion. Thanks for playing…
