Right, but do we post it weekly, monthly, daily?   There is lots of stuff out there that some people don't know (and even the maligned Amex 3CLI is an example, constantly posted because people don't know!)

If there were some 'Read these first' type of organization that people could be pointed to (I don't think either of the items mentioned are in stickies) then one could make comments about things being re-posted. But there's not. And it's an informational board, so I think if you've been here a while, you just read selectively. Plenty of new people to learn stuff all the time. 

I stay away from a particular forum because all the info is contained in massive threads that are years old and if you want to learn anything it's way too overwhelming. I appreciate the freshness of this board. And if I ever tire of people re-posting, I either won't read or won't come.

ETA: Not trying to be confrontational, it might have come off that way. But I'm sensitive to the fact that each board has a personality and this one is tough to crack. I've mostly read it as one where it's okay to repost things, and then occasionally one gets their hand slapped for doing so. Just pointing out that I appreciate the freshness factor.

That's fine, didn't seem confrontational (since I know I am always right, nothing seems confrontational to me!)   I was really pointing out that the possibility of information being new to "some" people isn't always sufficient justification to post.     But I should probably save my complaints for the repeated questions, answered in threads on the same page, rather than reposts of information, such as this (and the recent spate of "CITI now has FICO" threads)
