Then came several days of people posting that it looked like a cougar.

Then, I posted a pic of a bobcat vs a pic of a cougar, and I showed the significant differences between the two...

The thread continued with, "Looks like a cougar" posts, with some, "Might be a panther" posts added in...

No matter how many times I said, "No, it's a bobcat, go look at the pics I posted", the idiots continued...

It's a pet peeve of mine when people chime in, without reading the first page of a thread, with incorrect info, or to repeat the same correct info for the umpteeth time.

The "Black Racer Snake" thread is another example.

You can simply chose to ignore those posts. I do 95% of the time. I have found commenting here drags you into the detritus that passes as witty retorts. For doing this, I broke my own rule. Not good. Cheapens me in my mind. I will go back to the silenced intel gathering mode.
