I wonder how many people didn’t read the third sentence?
I didn’t, nor I think the second. I think I jumped into skimming mode when I learned that this was a repost, even though the first paragraph was obviously new. Or maybe it primed people to look for mistakes, but by the time they reached the end, they forgot. I think that there’s something here to learn about writing.
Yes, I had, but now I think it’s not that I entered skimming mode as that I skipped ahead to find out if it was a post I had read. Another possibility—which applies to people who had never seen Peter’s blog—is that I decided that administrative paragraphs are boring.

Had you already read the post on Peter’s blog?
The third sentence is actually pretty interesting btw.
