Default Re: 40/80, TT, what to do?

pjf--

The redundancy is actually a critical part of how these forums work. After a while you learn who the best players around here are, and when a bunch of them chime in with the same comment that's reasonable evidence that they're all right.

The issue here is that if such an implicit system didn't exist, anyone who wanted to contribute to a thread would have to put some real time and effort into a post. It's not time-efficient for a lot of the experts here. That said, effort-intensive posts are a great way to get better, and I suggest you try to make them.

Anyway, once you see how consensus and dialogue work around here, you probably won't want to shoot yourself due to the redundancy. Maybe for other reasons, but not the redundancy.
