here on DU, a lot of the people who respond to the post automatically assume the stuff was written by the DUer who has quoted it from elsewhere, so they respond to the DUer as though it is about him or her rather than the original writer?

You'd think after a dozen or so of those things people would start to understand that these items are quotes of material from other places, not original pieces by the OP.

I understand when the OP doesn't bother to make the fact clear, but trailmonkee made it clear enough that he/she found the item on Facebook and was quoting it here--yet half the posters assume that trailmonkee is the woman in the story with the breastfeeding baby.
