For example, I try to read a thread before replying, so I don't just repeat what someone else has said (usually not as well). Today I came here and saw two long threads, one on posting rules and one on Steve Haywoods, and a single question on Braunston Bridges. I therefore replied to Braunston bridges, not realising it had half a dozen responses, all in this thread.
