- dr_zoidberg 7y agoLast one (from GPs list) was from 2017. I wouldn't call this a blatant repost by any means. And there are some good conversations going on too, so there's value in that. My point: don't sweat it, it was good that you posted this.
- exikyut 7y agoDon't worry about it - it wasn't posted too recently so the rules haven't been dented, and it's amusing.
- jonnycomputer 7y agoWell, I didn't see it then, and well, glad to see it now.
