I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to express. Are these cables visible? Are they causing a problem? What set of circumstances has led to you uttering these sentences?

First of all let me tell you one thing. My response don't appear on forum. I need to post them twice to be displayed on the forum. You would think that I am not responding.
You don't need to post twice. Every one of your posts goes into moderation and has to be approved by a moderator before it appears. It's not just the first post in a thread that is moderated. I have just found 11 posts by you, all in moderation. You are being too impatient again. Each time you post, wait until it has been approved and appears before writing anything else in any thread.

Why do you think they should be removed?
Wires are run from one place to another. In this case, they're attached to poles, running above the heads of people on the streets.What does "run overhead" mean?
