I only know this because I've seen numerous clone threads, hundreds probably, some do get more attention than the original, for whatever reason.
Usually it starts out with a post such as "good one" or "ooooh lame".  |
General opinion is that mine tend to be lame - I can't understand this as I think they're fantastic. Worrying....
From what you say it seems there's more to cloning threads than meets the eye... I think they would be more interesting with a clone the clone approach or else they could give the wrong message to the uninitiated reader, clone-cloning makes it more sort of, well, communal ( if you know what I mean, and I think you do...). Not that I'm trying to set rules or anything (don't want to start that issue off again...!
