I've recently started to notice that whenever I reply to some post (even if I'm the first one posting after the OP question), people will often make a later post to the thread seemingly without as much as a glance through mine or other peoples posts in the thread and often repeating what has already been said.
Being from a time where following Netiquette meant you had respect for your fellow poster, I find this behavior a bit offensive and came to wonder if this perhaps is driven by the new generation of "push mode" people that simply has grown up being accustomed to tweeting so much that they are veering into a "broadcast-only" kind of mode?
If this is so, how should I go about handle that behavior on this forum? Should I post differently? Wait longer before answering posts with no replies? Tell people in PM when they post what I just said 20 min earlier? I'm open to suggestions.
