[QUOTE=Frank] Two ways that I use. If you click on the number at the top right of a post, it opens a window that contains only that post. Simply copy the URL. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5822507&postcount=32](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5822507&postcount=32) Now if you want to show the post in the context of the thread, remove the ‘&postcount=32’ from the end, and change showpost to showthread. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5822507](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5822507) [/QUOTE] Better yet for the single post, right click on that same number and “Copy Shortcut”. Then you can paste just like [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8705271&postcount=99) (prettied up with url tags). ---

[QUOTE=tomndebb] No. Your name means “famed warrior of no consequence” in bad German and misspelled English. Had you meant an attempt on a clever presentation of the Latin “Lucifer,” you should have tried “Lou Siffer” (or, better, “Lou Kiffehr” or “Lou Chiffehr”), which avoids both the extraneous syllable of Louis as well as the effete final “e” and the wrong initial vowel sound in Cyphere. Better luck in the future. [/QUOTE] Shit. Is there _anything_ you don’t know? And how do you keep so much stuff inside your brain without your head tilting sideways? :eek: ---

Couple of quick questions from a newbie: I noticed the word “BANNED” under lou cipher’s name. I guess, since he’s still posting, I don’t really know what “BANNED” means. Also, under Q.E.D., it says SDSAB. What does that stand for? (I fear that I’ve not given Q the appropriate respect and deference!) ---

[QUOTE=tomndebb] And there were [these movies](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=425200) that were unintentionally hysterical. [/QUOTE] I just read that whole thread. My head hurts now. I’m going to go bang it against a wall. It’d be more productive IMO. ---

[QUOTE=Sunrazor] I noticed the word “BANNED” under lou cipher’s name. I guess, since he’s still posting, I don’t really know what “BANNED” means. [/QUOTE] Nope, once he was banned, he didn’t make any more posts. Once a poster is banned, the title on all their past posts changes to reflect their new, improved status. > [@](#): > > Also, under Q.E.D., it says SDSAB. What does that stand for? (I fear that I’ve not given Q the appropriate respect and deference!) SDSAB = Straight Dope Staff Advisory Board. It indicates that the poster is someone smart who helps contribute content to the front page. However, SDSAB have no more authority on the message board than any other poster. ---

Since the OP has been banned, I shall close this thread. Any ongoing discussion can be continued in a new thread, if desired. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-the-pit-again/408939.md?page=5)
