The art of communication in the real world involves repeating oneself on a regular basis. A person who makes a notable discovery needs to repeat the discovery.

Even the success of HIVE involves a certain amount of repetition. For example, people drum messages about the importance of powering up HIVE on the first of every month.

New users need to be greeted when they join HIVE. The people who greet newbies write similar messages.

Since repeating things is a natural part of human communications, I think we should expect some repetition.

I draw the line at copying and pasting. I believe that the best way to repeat arguments is to write the repeated posts from scratch.

Interestingly, the act of writing the same post twice often provides the author with new insights on the topic. I find that whenever I rewrite an article, I gain new insights on the subject at hand.

Occasionally, HIVE authors have materials published on a different platform.

The best way to handle that situation is to write a post that paraphrases the article and then to link to the article.

This is also the best way to handle youtube and threespeak videos.
