All it requires is not having a life. I read all the main list posts 
(on webview), and note down my replies in Notepad, and only post them 
if no one else has yet.

Complete agreement!!

The larger of the two other things that are wearing me down are 
posts whose writers clearly have NOT read the FAQs, the OoP FAQ, 
or the recent posts, because they ask questions that are IN THE FAQs 
or have been answered in at least half a dozen posts in the last two 
weeks.

And the other is =squabbling, of the type that darkthirty parodied as 
WWF: "Snape is a versus "Snape is perfect in every respect", or the 
same for other characters, or the shipping wars... I must be turning 
into a curmudgeon.
