The linked post has been deleted. Could someone who saw the original thread please tell me what this is about?
Perhaps we could make this an even more useful thread by listing our double-post or redundant-post pet hates.
As a complete and total newbie with no intent of posting on the front page any time soon, I would like to know what is the appropriate way of deciding whether to FPP on something that is already being discussed. It seems like we are getting an awful lot of Enron posts, for example. I think that it is an important issue that needs to be discussed, but I wonder if posting so many updates on the front page dilutes that discussion. Again, I would just like to know what the standards are.

Huh? What happened to dong_resin's blank space? I knew there was something there. And very true, as usual.
As for the post, colt45, it was just a cheerfully posted double post, to this old chestnut. It was first posted by tamim in the year 2000, then revived in another thread which contained a few more amusing converters, like the Dialectizer.
There were some others(Mr T? Sinatra? I can't remember).
I can't find it either, but it's out there!

dong (_you_love_him) set the colour of the text to match the background colour of the page, so that you could only read it by highlighting it. And Matt must have changed it to put you out of your misery, Miguel. :)

I hate skallas's What Kind of MetaFilter User Are You? trap(no, no link for you!)because I fall for it every time and his little sucker-counter keeps going up and up.
I hate dong_resin's very recent new habit of repeatedly posting empty spaces because I feel there's something there I'm missing.
On the other hand, I love Chomsky and Nader posts and miss The Onion, so go figure... :)
