...I am not even slightly chagrined at my impolite retort. I understand the sentiment when there are five different posts on the same story at the same time, but a video that's a bit off the beaten path for most people over the course of weeks?
Maybe it's my perspective: I post a collection of political cartoons almost every day. There is at least one other person who does something similar, plus random other people who post cartoons that I'd already posted several days before. I don't feel any need to comment about duplication or take any action at all beyond hitting "rec", because if they felt the need to post it, it's a fair bet they hadn't seen that it had already been posted.
People have different schedules, people live in different time zones, topics can fall off the first screen quickly. Stuff happens. No harm, no foul. Better that more people get to see it.
LBN has rules about duplicate posts. V&M does not. As I noted above, I understand some annoyance with repeats of a hot topic, but obscure ones? Over a span of weeks? If anything, that circumstance makes me feel even more justified in giving a surly response.
