Is it just me or does everyone else get fed up of people who post
replies to themselves over and over again?
For only the second time in my life I've had to killfile an individual
guilty of this gross breach of netiquette. IMO it's as bad as repeated
cross-posting. (see p.b.i for the guilty party unless you too have
killfiled them ;-) )

I don't usually get annoyed by people replying to themselves repeatedly
(although there is a point where it gets too annoying, like a thread
with 10+ posts from the same person and from nobody else). What annoys
me more is said posts all having images that aren't even interesting
(yes I know who you mean; I have set a few individual threads to "ignore").

What was it Gandalf said? "It's a habit of the old to talk to the
wisest person around," or something like that :)

Well, kinda yes, kinda no - at some point, it does become a real blogging
opportunity rather than a posting opportunity...I can see one or two
replies to ones self to add additional information...

Ah! Thinking about it it's probably the fact that I'm wasting bandwidth
on d/l'ing a series of pointless images that bugs me. Why that is I
don't know 'cos I get unlimited bandwidth at home as well as work.
Whatever - he's still killfiled :-)

"unlimited bandwidth"? Does that even exist? :P
If you mean "with no GB/month limits", I think those Internet services
don't even exist over here. We just get below-average speeds (1Mbps
considered fast).

I knew you'd understand what I meant :-) I was to lazy to cancel the
post and resend

I live and work in Central London, but even here the bandwidth (using
the term properly this time) drops alarmingly at times. Must be all
those bankers desperately searching for new jobs :-D
