When you hit 500 posts, do you copy and paste a lot?

I had forgotten that there was a prohibition against copying and pasting until you'd reached a 500 rating because I never needed to do it, but I imagine that many people are working hard to increase their post count just to reach this number. So my question is, once you are allowed to copy and paste, do you find yourself doing it a lot or do you never use it, or somewhere in between?

I feel the same way. I don't use it as much as I thought that it would. It is still nice, though. I appreciate having it. :)

To be honest with you I can't wait to hit that 500th post. The main reason being that when you want to reference to an article it makes it a bit hard when you have to type word for word. The other thing that sucks is if you mess it up you can't even edit your post. (I don't know if that's another privledge that is gained later). That's the only reason I would like to use cut and paste.

i had used in very rare occasions till now..
but in a plan to increase my habit soon,
there is nothing wrong first of all in using that option.
but it would be nice, if we copy and paste a answer from any searches for the questions here in mylot.
but when question comes asking about the opinion of users, then, I'll just type what in my mind..
just as i did now.. for this question!

Hi!
I don't really paste a lot.
but I know, I'll be doing it sometime.
ever since i reached the 500 mark, i think i just copy-pasted around 5 replies or discussion that is because, i typed it first in document.
take care

I don't use it as much as I would have thought that I would have. It is VERY nice to have, though! I appreciate the feature! :) I like when I have the opportunity to use it. :)

I never use it and it makes no difference to me at all. I don't copy and paste anything. I write down my thoughts as I go along. I think though if someone is asking for certain things like a website or recipe I would like to have the function but that is pretty rare for me to use. Also when making discussions I tend to not response to copied news reports and stuff so those discussions are a bit dull. As for the photos, I found them to be more effort then they were worth and many don't get create for at all. So I don't bother with them either. Just chatting and typing seem to be the most fun way to be here for me.

u can hit that 500 posts soon than me.
when i hit 500 posts, for some questions ,i can copy,paste as i should research for some questions i don't know. some questions we can write on our own. but some questions like medical,beauty,etc we can reasearch in net and can give the answer. with this ,we also can know about that topic and we can aware of it in searching in net. so it is useful for us to paste a answer after searching in net. and with pasting some answers ,we can get more money also i think ,by giving more useful answer.
hope u liked my answer.
