Noone takes me seriously IRL, why should they do so here? 
The comma after “though” should actually be a semicolon.
Do you think your name isn’t memorable?
right back atcha!
In that case, I formally ask my fellow Dopers to keep their mitts off my ass. The things you creeps could do to my ass while you had it… <faints>
Well, it helps if you start several posts discussing your masturbatory habits, penchant for oral sex, and utter devotion to your career as a telemarketer. This will get you noticed right quickly.
Barring that you can always just hang around from time to time, post eloquently when you feel like it and mindlessly when you don’t and eventually…some day…with diligence and hard work…someone will namedrop FlippyFly in a thread you aren’t subscribed to (or you’ll get pitted…one or the other).
Then you’ll know you’ve made it.
Well, that and the yak hair sweater in the mail, courtesy of the Reader Overlords.
Congratulations, you are no longer a newbie.
Hands FlippyFly an ass
Is this yours? It fell off a few dozen posts back. I hope it didn’t get wrinkled in this brown paper bag I was forced to carry it in.
For what it’s worth, I’ve always been treated much better than I’ve deserved here, from my very first post. I never felt ignored, and many more established members were much more friendly and encouraging toward a newcomer than could have been reasonably expected (hello, Dung Beetle!) Some of the most accomplished posters have been the most tolerant – Eve, Swampbear, lieu, Shirley Ujest, and others have been exceptionally generous in making me feel welcome. I’d rather have that than be taken seriously anyway.
Me, “established”? Aw, shucks! :o
And accomplished, and respected. I knew the sentence division was going to get me in trouble, but since you were the first doper to say something nice to me, I wanted to remember you first.
Who in the hell are you again?
Well, I have over 700 posts and I don’t really expect anyone to know me, but one of my favorite posters recently, Stranger on a Train, has made quite a good impression in only 200 posts. As others have stated, it’s all relative.
Well if you really want to be taken seriously, it helps to post in color.
I’ll take anyone “seriously” that can tell me how you’ll know when a post that needs to be proximal to the one above it to be meaningful is in fact about to appear all by it’s lonesome at the top of the next page.
Yeah, I like having King of Soup around. You too, FlippyFly.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
I thought the first step was to eat a pee sandwich.
I don’t really want to be taken seriously. I’ve been taken seriously elsewhere, and it’s overrated.
By looking to see if the post you are replying to has a post number that is divisible by 50.
I ignore anyone who has less than 4,763 posts and I advise you do the same.
I don’t think I remember that far back…let’s see, it was a sunny day, I was just posting along and minding my own business, then WHAM out of the blue, my very own ass, handed right to me. “Hmm, so that’s what it looks like,” thought I. “I need to work out more.”
