Reposts would be more appropriate. They would provide us with the chance
to go find the thing elsewhere. The threads evolving from crossposts are

Are we to be APHIDS, waiting beneath the surface for the ants to FALL INTO

INVADING such places, and LEAVING the carcasses behind to ROT. And then we
can come back here and enjoy a little friendly banter and relax with some
squid.
