I always feel a bit uneasy about non-accidental multiple postings of the same piece of information. Perhaps it's a ploy to monopolise the attention of the viewer, but seems to me merely an irritant.
What it certainly does do is reuce the range of subject available on the front page, which is probably as far as most visitors bother going.
Cut it out Critical Mass - I've somehow lost interest in what's going on in Galway

Just browsing through UK-indymedia: where are the three other posts that you attribute to the Galway Critical Mass? Perhaps you are referring to the Leicester and London Critical Mass postings? Perhaps you are under the false impression that Critical Mass in one city is part of some sort of _organization_ that is called Critical Mass?
Coz it isn't!! CM is a spontaneous association of cyclists that get together to celebrate cycling and make a statement in a safe fun group. There is NO co-ordination with other CM groups in other cities in the world. It's an IDEA not an ORGANIZATION!! Go to Galway, you'll love it!
