The beauty of a message board system is that if someone does not read your post
on the same day you post it, they will still be able to read it on some other
day because your messages are PERSISTENT. The word persistent implies that
they don\'t go away. Thus when someone doesn\'t read news for three days, if
you have posted the same message every single day of those three days, they
log in and get the identitcal post three times in a row. This is mildly
annoying. Please don\'t do it. No one wants your stifsim plate anyway.

Kirya currently has 5 posts in 6 days on the first page of sales posts that are
identical. I would have replied to that message for this post, but you can\'t
do that from the web.
