Default Grunch?

I keep seeing this, and have no idea what it means. What does it mean? Where did it come from? Why is everyone using it all of a sudden?

it means to post blind, or to post your reply to the original post without looking at any other replies.

It's from microlimits, grunchcan made a big post about how everyone would improve faster if they replied to hand histories without reading everyone else's advice first.

That's a shame. I don't think that's true. Depending on the # of people who have already posted, I try to post the majority of mine blind, but I don't say grunch first, 'cause that's toolish.

I said *most*.

When I read a post, with excellent content & close decisions, and see grunch 10+ times at least 20+ posts in, where the grunchers are giving the supposed "agreed upon" line, I cry foul. I do this because I read the subsequent posts from these grunchers who ask for advice in situations which are totally easier & not close.

Anyway, perhaps I'm jaded because my posts are usually ignored.

What was wrong with the term "posting blind"?

I normally make my first post blind in a thread and then go back and read the thread, I just assume that that is most people's default, maybe I'm wrong

I usually grunch if im first in, but if its got say 8 replies ill type it out. Scrool down and read and then either post the grunched bit in italics then debate the other lines people said or just delete it to save repeating what others have said.

I may however repeat someones post if they haven't provided good reasons to a relatively new OP.

Grunching is highly recommend, to say its BS is well.. BS.
