Just in case anyone was wondering, a Google search of “pope” yielded as the first result the Wikipedia page for “pope”, which has a few paragraphs about papal selection, as well as a link to an article specifically about the subject. Hell, that involves fewer keystrokes than asking a GQ about it. So, yeah, **diggleblop** is now on my personal list of posters whose threads I realize ahead of time are going to be useless. ---

[QUOTE=garygnu] Since he joined 5 months ago, **diggleblop** has 839 post and 182 threadstarts. That means over 21% of his posts are new threads. For comparison, in 9 months **garygnu** has 1,253 posts and 25 threadstarts, roughly a 2% ratio. You don’t need to post your own ratio, but I’d bet not many have one that high.

I really think that he knows the answer. IMHO the questions are artfully designed to seem stupid, so he isn’t banned for trolling. ---

[QUOTE=tomndebb] You people who are always starting new threads can really clutter up this place. I think more folks should strive for my 0.0006724 rate, (especially if I get to pick who is doing the striving). [/QUOTE] I’ll work on it. I have 26 thread starts (.00331 rate); if I never start another I’ll equal yours after only 30,000 more posts. 😛 [QUOTE=DrDeth] I really think that he knows the answer. IMHO the questions are artfully designed to seem stupid, so he isn’t banned for trolling. [/QUOTE] The questions don’t merely \*seem \*stupid, they actually _are_ stupid. And even when they are not completely idiotic, they are usually phrased so stupidly that they are almost unintelligible (leading to longer threads than are warranted as people try to figure out what he was asking). Furthermore, I seriously suspect **diggleblop** is too stupid to know what trolling is, even as he does it. ---

Chiming in here. I’ve often noticed him, and noticed other people complaining about bad OPs in GQ. it’s gotten to the point where I, and many others, are now second-guessing every OP we put in GQ. Yes, what we should do - but so should he! ---
