Way too many duplicates....

And way too much snottiness back when one points it out.

One type of vanity that is kind of becoming a peeve for me is the "My relative died" thread, especially one where the death wasn't a surprise. When my Mom died, I didn't think it was appropriate to impose upon a political forum with a post about it. It is a small issue and such postings obviously bring comfort to those who need it. They definitely belong in Chat and not in News and Activism, though!

I've been agnostic on the topic of vanities because of my own Publius Essays that I post a few times a year. I take the time to work on my facts and prose style before I post. In that sense I'm guilty of posting vanities.

But the proliferation of one-line vanities is destroying this site. Most of the stuff should be a reply or comment to an existing thread, and the waste of bandwidth is starting to turn us into a conservative copy of DU.

It's time for the moderators and Jim Robinson to get together, crack down on vanity posts and come up with a policy where well-written essays will survive the cut, but most of the junk that's being posted will be deleted by a moderator as soon as it shows up.

Just my two pennies.
