Regurgi-Spew

RegurgiSpew.

New word. This will be my noun for what results when people who think they're bringing new information, clarification, or new thinking to a topic of study cannot tell the difference between that and re-listing, VERBATIM, others' already written or published or spoken words of knowledge.

I have to read RegurgiSpew.

What a crapping waste of my time.

This will turn into a rant....
Now.

I just can't believe it when I go to turn over a new rock about one of the subjects I'm fascinated by, online--hoping against hope that someone has finally written something new about it--and, if it's been a while [since I last checked], I get excited to see like 15 more links that I've never seen before, seemingly dealing with it-- I go and dig into them one by one -- and 14 of them are tables, lists, quotes from, or whole copy-pasted paragraphs of what somebody else has already said, which anybody interested in the subject has read billions of times, because it was published eons ago-- and the 15th website says something a _little_ new... 1 whole sentence of it. Whoo-hoo. >:{

(And that sentence is NOT fascinating....)

It makes me want to flay and burn.
