Because it's going to come up, here's the FAQ I wrote a few years ago about LJ's repost features [ http://www.livejournal.com/support/faq/313.html ].

The original implementation [ex: http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/619.html ] would place the text of the original entry into a new entry authored by yourself, as if you had copy and pasted the contents. You could then comment on (or edit) the entry as you liked.

The second implementation [ex: http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/911.html ] worked like a standard retweet - the original entry would become part of your journal but any comments, likes, statistics, etc... would count to the original entry and author. There is no ability to add commentary.
