NEWBIE.....welcome to FR...I think....you are setting us up.
I don’t have any statistics, but it seems like a HUGE number of election-related posts in the past few weeks have been courtesy of these “helpful” newbies.
Their motives are transparent.
I don't think the newbies are doing that so much as cluttering things up.
Half the threads I've clicked in the past couple of weeks have been a vanity by some newbie based on guess. As far as the ones who do post actual non-vanity threads, 90% of these newbies either can't figure out or just ignore the search feature and post something that's already been posted by three other newbies.
I can't wait until the election is over and the newbies are gone.
