Ok, I see similar topics that could take the same advice or close to it if I changed a few words. Is there a way to copy the advice from one discussion, paste it to another discussion and then add or delete the information that wouldn't go for the next discussion?
I'm burning out my wrist responding to similar discussions. But I'd like a penny for each one and to provide some of the same plus some new information each time. Can you help me?

Hi there. You must reach 500 post before you can even think of copying and pasting, you'd best be reading the guidelines first... Tell me, why would you want to copy and paste the same or similar opinions/posts, when you have the option to get creative and share your own true opinion and knowledge on a subject... Have a good one buddy, I hope you dont think of copying any of mine lol...

Read the original thing that I wrote, then read my response to number 1 and 2 above. I would copy, but change a little each time.
But 15 people asking the same question on mylot,....

once you 500 posts you can copy and paste discussions. but i think you have to make each a little different. check the guidelines, it says something about the copy paste thing.

Thank you very much for this advice. I thought I had read all the guidelines, but that was a month ago. Not sure where to find them again. Thanks for your assistance.

You cannot copy and past until you get to five hundred sessions anyway. Besides why would you do it? It is better to put the advice in different ways on different posts.

Because 4 topics on how to scare crows away written only slightly differently can take mostly take the same description of how to make a scare crow and how to attach a pie plate to a pole. 5 different posts/people wanting zucchini recipes that I found 3 pages of recipes for on a website, that could be passed on with very little changes.
I explained why. My wrist hurts from writing close to the same stuff over and over again. Carpal tunnel. I also explained that after I copied and pasted it, I would change it slightly.
