Seriously. I can’t find an excuse for this.<\/p>\n
I just finished typing up a lengthy post about a particular topic, and as I was viewing the penultimate draft, I decided to click on one of the links at the bottom – you know, the ones that show potentially related content? Only to find that I had already tackled pretty much the exact same details in the earlier post.<\/p>\n
Now, I might have felt better about this, if the previous one had not been from a mere 40 days ago!<\/em> I’m fine with revisiting topics that I covered several years back, or if something relevant appeared recently, but this one’s still lukewarm!
