(20,818 posts)15. I don't really care all that much about that. What really
frosts my cookies, though, is when people repeat the subject line in their post, which, at DU, is completely unnecessary. I can understand newbies doing it since it's done that way on a lot of other sites, but once you've been here even just a short time you should be able to quickly and easily figure out that it's not necessary here. In fact, it's downright annoying. Yet certain longtime posters here persist in doing it ALL. THE. TIME.
And that is my Petty Cranky Gripe for the day, lol.
