Alright, Google Webmaster Help video has posted a great link-bait headline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ-xEsA14ag But seriously folks, this is satire pointed at the sometimes obsessive duplicate content questions. "Is having the same main menu on every page duplicate content? Is repeating the same logo on every page going to get me a duplicate content penalty?
I would think that google would of thought of this especially for forums because of footer links and menus on every page. If not they should fix it soon. In all I have yet to have a problem with this.
