Complaints about complaints about complaints

Lately, we've had a rash of forum posts complaining about other commenters who complain about duplicate threads. I think we all agree that, when duplicate threads get flooded with complaints about them being duplicate threads, that is annoying.

It's more annoying to have new forum topics devoted to complaining about other people who are complaining too much about duplicate threads. Anyone who is reading these duplicate threads can simply skip past the complaints that it's a duplicate thread to the duplicate comments, themselves. They're complaints about duplicate threads. We don't need to complain about the complaints. Just let the complaints about duplicate threads go by and vanish into the abyss along with the duplicate threads. 

What's really annoying is when someone complains that a complaint about duplicate threads is redundant and unnecessary, when in fact the new complaint takes an original, novel approach to complaining about duplicate threads. Regardless of whether a complaint about duplicate threads is unnecessary, tiresome, or not really a complaint, I'm pretty sure people would rather read complaints about duplicate threads then complaints about complaints about duplicate threads.
