I'm not really a fan of this autopost thing and it appears others aren't too thrilled about it too. Can someone explain in detail what it's about, the benefits and anything else that might be pertinent to my getting up to speed on it. Maybe I just don't fully understand it's capabilities enough to appreciate it.

I have to agree.  I think the opinions generated should either be personal, or personally selected by the poster.  Not applied as some automated function.  I mean, would I be able to generate every CATO piece on the economy and every Herigate Foundation piece on the country, constitution, and conservative principals, to automatically be generated, without even having ever looked at the piece?

Just my 2 cents

Is it a bad idea?

And more importantly does, it interfere with your participation in this board?
