I got all hung up in this multiple posting problem back in the day so I thought I'd chime in. My first instinct was to say that we are so constrained by civility restrictions that the community could not work with the problem itself. I and others were punished when attempting to interact with these posters. Then I read Kid's recommendation, and like duh, why can't I just ignore stuff that bugs me? I can better overlook annoyances here now, but that is probably a function of being so less invested in this place than I was four years ago. I also speculated that maybe Bob instituted this rule after he seemingly defending a poster's right to post at will for so long because he felt remorse for having to punish so many Babblers who struggled with this posting style. The rule did feel so unBoblike.
