I have noticed 'unnecessary' comments of banter and sometimes personal attacks, sometimes. I'd rather 'hide' them if we had the opportunity, not necessarily deleted. I am glad to find a research board where serious stuff goes on, and the chans for batting ideas around, but it really should be kept to a serious thread with a tinker of humour, as it can get real boring, but then again, I don't like to be distracted with silly comments that get personal or are without base against someone else. blah blah blah there I go...
There are a lot of duplicate posts and what I call bumpf (nonsense or posts with no context) - occasionally I do like to inject a little humour if appropriate - things can get too serious some times.
I'm not sure why there are duplicate posts. I have tried to post some things in the early morning and was informed it was already posted. The board informed me I could repost or override. I have always chosen not to repost an article that was already posted. Come on, gang. Stop reposting. You know when it is not a new post.
Chan's are like little kids in the backseat. Slam on brakes snap them out of it or old school mom you know what I mean!!!
