    Lately, it seems that every single site that DREAMS of being a tech support forum has taken to stealing other tech support site's threads and copying them to their little forum.

    I say this because sometimes I will search for an issue I haven't heard of before, and I will find exactly the same thread, with the same responses, across 10 different web sites. It's annoying because it really slows down a search if that particular cloned thread has nothing to do with your issue.
    "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)

    Yea, I've noticed that also.. That pisses me off as well.
    Syndicating forum posts (not blogs) as a rule is stupid idea. Syndicating blogs is a good thing though.
