i think they have given up on crushing re-posts. it seems for every 1 re-post that was 'bunnied' there were as many people posting up that it was new to them, as there were bunnies in that barbie car.
negligible is the inconvienece of seeing the re-post thread title, and having to scroll down past it to click on the thread below it. and the benifit is to those who 'ride more, pose/post less' and aren't on here 24/7 to read EVERY thread. ... ya know, the floridians, and left coast boys.
