Well, Dopers, it seems to me, as regards this whole redundancy issue and the matter of being long winded when that’s not required, that perhaps we do indeed need to distinguish between – no, sorry, that should be “among”, not “between”, my apologies – Dopers, lurkers, trolls, sock puppets, hackers, people from child-love boards who for some reason have decided to invade the SDMB board, law enforcement agents monitoring the SDMB boards in order to catch and apprehend said interlopers from the child-love boards, and whoever it is perpetrating the recent DOS denial of service attacks. Because I, personally, don’t really want to address my posts to all of the above. No, fellow Dopers, I only want to address my posts to you, my fellow Dopers, the real and true Dopers.
Redundancies will not occur if the question is just flat out asked, instead of, “Hey [insert type of person here], I got a question about blah blah blah…”
Just ask the question. Because some on the SDMB may consider themselves more of a doper if they’ve been here longer. And if you ask, “Can any dopers help me with this”, may imply, “I’m looking for advice from those with a post count of x,xxx, instead of you newbies helping me”. Or maybe not.
More like what are you you talking about, and what do I have to smoke, imbibe or ingest before I understand it? “Meet the goat?” WTF? And if you’ve never heard of SD before, do a search for “meet the goat” (whatever the hell that means) and consequently sign up for the SDMB - then yes, you’re a doper, the act of signing up for the message board confers that status upon you.
Also, re: Bippy’s post… why do so many people not notice the c in my name?
It is a hamster conspiracy! Really, I chose reply to your post, then deleted the quote= and the post. Put Bold round your name, and still the c got removed.
racinchikki you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow our minds.
Maybe it was the same cosmic anomaly that caused me to use the correct form of your / you’re ?
