I moved to DW from livejournal, where the user experience used to be (before all latest updates and moving servers) quite similar to DW style. Re-posting in lj is widely used feature and that is the reason why I asked for it despite the previous discussion was over several years ago with the negative decision made.
It is not completely clear why re-posting feature would violate privacy, when anyone can re-post any post manually just copy-pasting the content and adding something like "Originally posted by as ". The result would be absolutely the same except you need spend a little more efforts to achieve it.
Are there any DW regulation that consider manual copying of posts with the links to the original as a privacy violation? If yes, then further discussion is clearly does not make any sense.

I should admit though that re-posting is not a critical feature, you can easily live without it or do your manual exercise if you need to re-post.
