I DONT RECALL MAKING DUPLICATE POSTS ABOUT THE SAME SUBJECT!!!! also this seems like a false reason and fictitious claim so somebody can flex their authority. As that being said be that as it may and enjoy your POWER.
I'm afraid I don't understand your attitude. It has nothing to do with "flexing authority" or "power", but is about keeping the forums running as smoothly as possible, organizationally.
There is nothing "false" or "fictitious" about it: there were two copies of this thread--one that people were replying to already, this first one, topic number 54273, and a second one (topc number 54274, I believe but am not certain) that had no replies yet (which is the first one I saw and was myself replying to, as I go thru the list of "unanswered posts" trying to help people that haven't got any replies yet, each day I can get access to wifi long enough to get on ES for that.
I post the same thing each time I see duplicate threads, when I merge them together. It's not uncommon for people to post mulitple copies of threads hoping to get better help that way, and that is discouraged here at ES.
Sometimes people may not mean to make them, but perhaps hit the submit button repeatedly (even accidentally), or get a result page that makes it seem like the post didn't go thru when it actually did.
If the latter is the case with yours, then my apologies.
However, I will remember your attitude and accusation, and refrain from assisting you with any of your questions, including the ones that don't get replies, in the future. Others are free to answer you any way they wish, within the rules.
I will still merge duplicate threads, from anyone, as I always do, however.
