You _are_ in imminent danger of being shuffled off, although David let the “Steak Wasting” thread hang around, so there’s some precendent. It would help if you guys would fight or start witnessing or something. ---

> [@](#): > > Does anyone else appreciate the beauty and subtlety of that single phrase. Ha! How can you make such an outrageous claim. That phrase was obiously the pathetic grasping of an unhinged mind. the sentiment is sophmoric and the execution puerile. As comedy it barely approaches slapstick. As literature it ranks below the most obvious pun. Though it does demonstrate my position that only experienced posters are worth reading. Really, I don’t know why you bothered wasting seconds of your life on teh incoherent ravings of a neophyte. PS - Gaudere, I have a digital camera and close access to numerous beaches.

Steak wasting was a damn good debate!!! If Gaudere would just post a bikini pic we could debate that. Spiritus Mundi is absolutely wrong. The law of Entropy clearly states that processes move towards chaos. Therefore the more you post the less sense you make. Anybody with a post count higher than 500 is a senile troll. ONLY TRUST NEWBIES! (That should keep us out of MPSIMS) ---

Ahhh… I get it now… I think you are a big bumpy pickle! And… and… and… (does anybody realize how hard it is for a nice guy like me to flame???) and you look like Gaudere in a bikini with army boots… so there 😛 HA! top that one… * * * † Jon † Phillipians 4:13 ---

I do not look like Gaudere in a bikini with army boots. I **might** look like gaudere in a bikini with army boots, a false beard and a desperate need for your favorite hair removal product, but I think that would pretty much disprove the whole bodacious babe hypothesis. How about it, Gaudere? An alternative hypothesis has been proposed. Can you supply evidence to back up your statements? BTW: I am **not** a bumpy pickle, but I am wrong. * * * _wishes someone with 1,000 posts would write so that he could have something to read._ ---

Spiritus, per the request of your sig, this should keep you busy. > [@](#): > > However, this assumption is not correct, since the natural general principle that will subsume this case is rather different from an important distinction in language use. It appears that the descriptive power of the base component is, apparently, determined by irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules. A consequence of the approach just outlined is that a descriptively adequate grammar does not readily tolerate a parasitic gap construction. Presumably, a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort is unspecified with respect to the requirement that branching is not tolerated within the dominance scope of a complex symbol. ---

See what I mean about higher post count equalling senility. The truly superior poster will Lurk for one year, read everything, arrive, and make: One and only one pure all encompassing post of ultimate truth. Then they will disappear. This is my unified post theory. ---

UncleBeer – at last a voice of wisdom and accomplishment. I do not recognize the quote you posted, but I have a sneaking suspicion that such clarity and concision couls only have originated from that wellspring of academic enlightenment known as semiotics. Of course, structural grammar is always a strong second guess. * * * \*Charging rampantly toward senility and wisdom [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-the-amount-of-posts-you-make-make-a-better-poster/13705.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-the-amount-of-posts-you-make-make-a-better-poster/13705.md?page=4)
