Maybe it's just because I spend too much time lurking here, but I see a relatively large number of re-posts (or things which I have read before somewhere). I don't usually comment on these articles, however especially when it looks like someone has lifted content I try and link back to the original (and original discussion where appropriate). In this case I was pushed to comment because I thought it was not attributed (and hence lifted) but in any case I am always concious of the type of post you outline - the 'OLD' comments. I think a 'more intellectual' version of that comment is actually a good thing in general, mostly because it adds content rather than simply deriding, but it's always a tough question to decide if posting is the right choice or not. I'm happy enough with this post.
