If anybody is familiar with Twitter, you'll notice that nobody asks someone if they can retweet their tweet. They just do it. Like it should be.
For future reference, nobody on here needs to ask my permission to resteem one of my posts. As a matter of fact, I can't stop you from resteeming my posts if I tried.
If you see the "resteem" icon beneath one of my posts, then that is like a permission note. It's a green light to go ahead and resteem.
Exactly that. That's why it's so annoying I guess. It's also counter productive but they never get that!
