You constantly cut and paste this stuff. I don't mind, but why do you never comment on it yourself?

Cut and paste is a simple way sometimes, not always i use myself of it, to comment on what I post, it's all right if I find it relevant, or nice................but that there are constant posts, from Life that I disagree with,

Maybe just a good year for him. There are probably a dozen or more people out there who have done more to influence civilization.

If you don't find it relevant, or nice, or you disagree with it, why post it at all? Or why not comment on that. It just seems weird to me when someone posts a link but doesn't think it's worth talking about.

Steve! All human beings are not equal, and everyone has different tastes, so to post something that is not to my taste with perhaps perceived positively by someone else, it may not necessarily be screwed, but as always it is up to the viewer.

Personally I think Vendor is a bot, but sometimes, possibly with a human handler

I think you just misunderstand him. If I understand correctly, he does find these topics relevant or interesting. That's why he posts them.
Also, Vendor often does comment on it after a few posts.


Just my 2 cents

Steve is right. You should do more than just post a link.
