handy pitting du jour

From this thread:

Ah, so you waited fourteen and a half hours after the OP said the problem was resolved to append a “just google it” comment which was totally irrelevant to the question at hand. How helpful. Perhaps I should apply this technique to every single thread in GQ. I bet I could rack up a heck of a post count.

“Use a search engine.”
“I bet you could find that in Windows Help.”
“What kind of computer do you have? Maybe if it were a Dell it would work.”

18,000 here I come.

I usually don’t join in the handy bitchfests, but he does seem to be batting even worse than usual lately.

What do you think he does?

Ya know there are only 2 things more inane than pointess & useless posts:

  1. Multiple threads pitting a poster accusing him (justly or unjustly) of being an habituallty pointless poster and
  2. posting in such pit threads
    :smack:

FYI, Handy never comes into the pit. You think he would though, as it would pad his post count to the moon.

World Eater: handy has made 60 posts in the pit; however, that’s just an extremely small drop in a vast ocean.

No shit? Damn.

Hmmm, maybe he never posts in his own pittings?

Work with me here. :smiley:

I think handy stopped coming to the pit in February, which is when he last posted here. Something about this forum being too negatimve, IIRC.

So. . . you’re admitting you’re inane then?

:dubious:

I think the huor of the post spoke for itself. Glad to see you caught it.

I may as well be typing with my keyboard disconnected from the computer for all the good this will do, but like Scarlett67 I have also noticed that he’s been drifting back to his old ways.

Witness this solid gold post in my thread about red dots showing up during Adult Swim broadcasts:

:smack:

Unfortunately friedo beat me to the punch:

Still waiting for Handy to drop by and admit his error…

hope you’re not holding your breath.

My guess is that most of those were threads that were moved to the Pit after he posted to them.

Haj

I like to mentally rate handy’s posts on the 10 point Handy Scale. The ubiquitous “just Google it” only gets a 5 on the scale. The exceedingly rare post that is both on point and actually adds new information, gets a 1. Dooku’s example would probably rate about 7. (Hard to tell without actually reading the thread). Generally the more out of the blue and useless the comment, the higher the score. I even apply the scale to my own posts, when I feel myself drifting into handy territory. This post, for example, probably gets a 3 or 4. :smiley:

I bet there are more threads about handy, why don’t you search for them or maybe ask someone who knows where they are.

Very subtle, Mr2001.

I think there must be other threads about handy. You could probably find them if you searched for them. Or you could ask someone else.

I don’t think Handy ever comes to the pit. Why don’t you ask the mods to move this to GQ. It will probably work if you have a Dell.

handy’s last Pitting.

I keep hoping his style of drive-by will be deemed by the mods as “being a jerk” or at the very least he’ll be banished from legal threads the same way he was banished from medical ones.

8.3 on the Handy Scale.
