It's free and easy.
This is a big factor. It's like when someone forwards an email conversation to you because they now require your input, but they leave in the previous 30 messages so you read through the entire thing before discovering that 95% of it has nothing to do with you.

Very few times do I see such re-posting help clarify, if anything, re-posting wily nily seems to muddy things up.

Rant off.
I hardly ever see people reposting others' stuff on a different forum but I agree that could muddly the waters without the context.

Many threads get into several discussions that have little to do with each other. It then becomes necessary to copy which post or series of posts one is responding to. What if it was a thread where one of the forum libtards were responding about how much they like licking sweat off obamas feet? Posting :iagree: ,without posting who I was agreeing to, might cause the forum libtard to think we needed two servings of obama foot sweat.

Maybe he agrees with the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?
