If it can be used again, I'll use it again. No sense it paraphrasing just for the hell of it. You can't plagiarize yourself.

- _delirium 16y agoImo, a good rule of thumb for when you're copy/pasting the same comment you've made before is to mark it somehow, e.g. "as I said the last time this same issue came up (perhaps link to comment here): [paste]". A bigger question might be why you're saying the same thing over and over to begin with, paraphrasing or not. Is your one-paragraph comment filled with self-help-type platitudes really interesting enough to spam in every relevant discussion?
- Towle_ 16y agoYou're right, I'll do that next time. I didn't get the kind of discussion I was interested in last time, so I thought I'd try a second time. Not "over and over." A second time.
