It’s Saturday! Wonderful, glorious, blessed Saturday! I love doing yard work and I got my lawn mower gassed up, my power washer ready to go, the batteries charged for the air blower, and the weed whacker and edger are ready for service!

I live very close to the eastern part of my time zone, meaning that it’s sunny enough for me to start working at 5:45am. But I’m considerate of my neighbors, even the asshole ones. So I’m taking a poll… what time should I start?

You post a reply to an SDMB thread, containing relevant and useful information, presented in your typically erudite and entertaining fashion. Soon afterwards, someone else posts a reply containing the same information, without a hint of acknowledgement that you’ve already posted this information. How do you feel about that?

  • It doesn’t bother me at all; everyone has the right to post what they want.
  • I’m a little annoyed by it; the second poster should have read the thread and noticed that I already said that.
  • I’m pretty irritated by it; it’s disrespectful to post in a thread without fully reading it.
  • I’m angry about it; that second poster is an inconsiderate jerk.
  • I’m infuriated, and that second poster is lucky that I don’t know where they live.
