You want a piece of me dirtbag? Come and get your due!
A link would be nice, so the rest of us know what you’re talking about…
Just a note, but it is somewhat odd that we can’t search for your username–I tried too. Whether that’s your fault or not, it * is * unusual. And you just registered today…for God’s sake don’t start out your first day on the board with a flame.
Well, I’m probably just setting myself up here, but it was worth a shot…
[htp=“http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=32701”]Here’s his thread. Nothing much flame-worthy in it, though…

You know, I bet if you pulled the stick out of your ass, you wouldn’t feel so uncomfortable.
::tosses you a tube of Preparation H::
This board even has a button “vB code” to clue you in.
Is the Post Office out of contol? This seems so fucking stupid!
Yeah, I might have over reacted. I hate hijackers is all.
Yeah, whatever.
I guess we could close this thread, but I can’t seem to get Edit to work.
I gotta go, so if whatshisface shows up, somebody put that stick SanibelMan is talking about into wring’s eye for me, okay?
Okay, people, nothing to see here. Let’s all calm down and quit accusing 7 of 7 of having some kind of supernatural powers that erase his posts from the Straight Dope memory banks.
The long and short of it is, that when you put either “7” or “7 of 7” into Search in the User Name field, you get this message:
So, duh, people. The notoriously picky (and still evidently buggy) vB software can’t find you if you’re a number.
7 of 7, you might want to consider e-mailing a mod and undergoing a name change, just to avoid problems in the future. We can’t find your golden words if the Search function can’t be persuaded that you even exist.
This whole thread is a waste of pixels. All you kids, go outside and play, it’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon. For heaven’s sake.

Eh, if that’s directed to my request for a link, you should know that it’s considered the duty of the person who starts a Pit flame thread to include a link to the relevant thread that prompted the flame. I shouldn’t have to go running around town looking for the brushfire–you’re supposed to deliver it straight to my doorstep.
P.S. “Edit” only works for the mods and admins. If you want to close a thread, e-mail the relevant mod. But be warned–Lynn in particular is extremely likely to refuse to close Pit threads. She feels it’s a learning experience for the OP.
These are at the top of the other forum now, that pertain to your comment.
** Scope of searches**
How does Search work. I can’t find even half the places I’ve been to.

I got mad and started talking to the hijacker. I forgot other people were here. I usually use chat rooms, where we’re all on the same topic…
Also, if you use chat rooms, you know you can post once every minute or two for hours. Not that I intend to do that her, of course.
You know, many of us are competant in vB–I’m just real tired, and I rarely mess it up…so I didn’t bother previewing. Notice that my second one works…
Of course not. After all, that would make you some sort of trollish type life form. :rolleyes:
