Guinastasia, I gotta ask...

Yeah, Dave. I’m doin’ well, Thanks. I’m really enjoying my new equipment. Now I understand why men always have to “make adjustments.”

Spoofie–Thanks for the compliment.

p.s. It was Brazil, not Sweden.

Oh bless you boys for having way too much time on your hands and no sense of humor.

It’s a gift.

CrafterMan seems to forget his own thousands of posts on the activedayton message boards…

Hey, Osip: my post count is bigger than your post count! :stuck_out_tongue:

And my username spelled backwards ain’t pisO! :smiley:

The Lost Ninth Beatitude! All praise be to leander for discovering it!

Er, I meant tenth. Or however many there were plus one.

Grr.

Cute

leander, I think we’re having some communication problems here. Just let me get double-check a few things here…

You DO konw that everyone who posts here (with the exception of the mods) is a real person, right?

You DO realize that this can actually be a good way to meet people and make friends, that I have personally met Guin IRL and find her to be quite charming and cool, and that some people have even married the people they met on this board, right?

You DO realize that it’s just as legitimate a place to hang out as a coffeeshop or restaurant, except that we can hang out here while we’re stuck at work, right?

You DO realize this is the internet, so if you think that we’re all such total losers you can just leave any time you want, because there’s nothing physically holding you here, right?

You DO realize that if, God forbid, you were to do such a thing, nobody here would give a flying fuck, because so far none of your posts have had any worthwhile substance whatsoever, right?

Good. Just making sure. Carry on.

Jester -

Ouch. Mama mia. I was making a joke, some people got it, others did not.

I understand there are lots of angry folks this week. It’s been a rough week. And if lashing out helps you, then feel free. It’s really okay.

Cause, Jester, you’re good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like you.

Oh, and leander? Let he who is without sin throw the first stone.

Uh…huh. Lashing out? Please. I fail to see where anybody in this thread “got the joke”. If it was a joke, it was incredibly bad, and methinks you need to work on your timing. Care to point out the parts that were supposed to be funny?

Oh Jester. Jester, Jester, Jester.

Methinks you need to get a life.

BTW, kid, don’t you have school tomorrow? Nightie, Night.

Jeez, leander. I think you should spend a little more time here before you post any more. Y’know–learn the ropes a little. You are obviously a total newbie who has no clue at all what goes on at this board.

After all, everybody knows that Jester is neither good enough nor smart enough. And also, nobody likes him.

I’m gonna cry, you guys are sooooo sweet.

Jester-will you be my honorary little brother? I’ve always wanted a brother…

Everyone who got this so called joke and thought it was the least bit funny, please speak up now.

Those who compain about high post counts and insist that they are a sign of a loser always seem to miss this key point: the time taken to write an average post (such as this one) is tiny. It’s the time taken to read the threads that is the timekiller.

Now admittedly there’s been a few posts that have taken up to an hour to write (the one advising 'punha on his essay writing technique that garnered absolutely zero responses springs to mind, not that I’m bitter or anything). But for the main, they’re no big deal. However I’ve wasted many an hour reading through a big debate and made no response to it whatsoever.

High post counts are not indicative of how much time one spends on the board - they only illustrate the willingness of the poster to respond when they think of a point to make. Guin and Apricot may spend exactly the same time each day on the SD - we’ll never know. Those 12 posts per day will take on average about 30 mins. This is insignificant compared to the reading time involved.

It’s like the statistics of how many posts one makes to the pit or GD. Until this MB finds a way to count the posts we read, all attempts to pigeonhole people will be futile.

Pigeon-holing will be futile.

Exterminate! exterminate!!!

You will be aSDimilated.
