I’m all for asking questions, but the sheer volume indicates a dearth human contact on the part of Mr. Deschain.
Anyway, not really a pitting, just a comment.
Maybe he’d care to explain why all the questions, and more importantly - why so suddenly ?
I noticed that myself, a bit odd if you ask me but to be fair he has asked some interesting and unique questions. Maybe he has so many questions in his mind that if he doesn’t find answers quick his eyes will melt and his brain will ooze out his nose? I’m just sayin’…
I couldn’t help but notice his name popping up several times over in GQ. Maybe he’s just going post-al after anteing up his five bucks.
I wonder if his next question will be “What is this Dark Tower, and how do I get there?”
Yeah, he’s certainly getting his money’s worth.
:Entering the Shop:
“I’ll have five dollars worth of knowledge, please.”
“Very good, Sir. Anything else ?”
“Yes, actually, have you got any wit ?”
“No, sorry Sir. We’re all out.”
“Ah, I thought this shop looked funny.”
:exeunt all:
But seriously - man, he has a lot of questions.
Maybe he’s gunning for Q.E.D.'s post count. 
Unless the dude’s got something terminal, you’d think he could at least spread it out a bit! He seems to like to hear himself talk, his replies are usually just his further thoughts.
And that goddamned “typing in the title” thing he does in replies drives me nuts!
He’s made me revert to my regrettably snarky ways in GQ, that’s not a good thing.
Aaaaah dnooman I hear ya, it just makes it harder to quote him in replies… it looks like you cut part of his post out, when HE did it himself in a way! AAARGH! Sure I could retype that part but AAAARGH i’d rather sit here and go AAAAAAAARGH!!
I’ve got to second that.
It’s a fucking TITLE bar! You don’t need to type the first line of your post in there! It comes out fucking TINY and no-one can read it…
Phew. My head nearly popped.
Nyeh. It’s not the first time a newbie has gotten a wild and crazy with the posts and it won’t be the last. Let it go and see what happens in the long term.
Hell, I once (NOT as a newbie) chalked up like 2000 posts in 6 months. That works out to what…almost 11 posts per day.
At 167 in 11 days Roland isn’t that far above that.
Talk like a pirate much ?
No, more like the Peanuts kids… or Garfield… I DO hate Mondays.
True, but I suspect your posts were spread around more. Nearly all his posts have been in GQ, a forum that moves fast enough without his flood of questions. That’s what makes his posting pattern so noticeable.
Sort of reminds me of MagicalSilverKey. Whatever happened to him, anyway?
I chatted with him a couple of times back in '01, I guess. But I haven’t seen him around lately.
Ah. I see. I thought it was like “aarrgh” like “The Sea Captain” in The Simpsons…
Not to worry. I’ll go back asleep now.
Well, I count eight threads he’s started (mostly inane) cluttering up the front page of GQ right now.
In the registration agreement we have the rule: “Do not post the same or similar messages or threads to multiple forums; multiple threads on the same topic; or an excessive number of threads on any topic within a limited period of time.” I’m not sure whether he’s run afoul of that rule yet, but if he keeps this up, that’s a real possibility.
No, this is Captain McAllister: Arrrrrr, I hate the sea, and everything in it! Arrrrrrr.
/end Simpsons fanaticism
**robotic_panda ** –love that online name!
Got a sig, yet?
How 'bout–
“Domo Arigato, Mister Robo—AAAawww! How Cuuuute!”
IMHO, Eight is more than enough. If I recall correctly, Jinx, bless his inquisitive little soul, got warned for less.
OK that is considered… either that or “Pandas have thousands of sharp teeth which they use to tear apart bone, candy, and fences”… either way i’m still cute
ok you win ya big lug!
