<p>thatsnotmy - modest is the king here. He has spent innumerable hours of his life answering people’s questions, and has written the definitive posts on many topics. He also is perfectly willing to post original material on a new topic when someone brings one up. He’s been here to see the same topics get discussed a million times. It makes perfect sense to repost those very good discussions, where people have already explored the issues. A lot of people find the reposts helpful and thank modest for them. You should learn not to bite the hand that feeds you.</p>

<p>Re: protests, there isn’t that much protest on campus.</p>
