This is not a flame…but… S/he has to hold the record for topline posts. ---

This isn’t a flame either, but… I have no idea what you are trying to say. ---

What’s a topline post? ---

I believe Reeder is refering to Jinx’s style of disappearing for awhile and then appearing with 5 or 6 questions/threads in mind and starting them at once. Certainly he probably has the highest OP to RP (response posts) of posters with a post count over 50. … That is all. ---

[Roseanne Roseannadanna] **Jinx** , you sure ask a lot of questions! [/RR] ---

Yes. I have never seen so many easily Google-able questions from a single poster. ---

So, what, this is a “let’s all complain about Jinx” thread? For heaven’s sake–why? I _like_ Jinx. I don’t see any “easily Googleable questions” in his current crop. Now We Name Subtropical Storms? Hey, Cecil! Scouts & Old Ladies? Browser Only Opens in Tiny Box Exploding Eggs, But Not Hot Dogs? Maybe he’s just here to make conversation–like the rest of us. What, none of you ever posted something in GQ, only to have somebody say, “You can Google that, you know…”? Chill, people. Sheesh. ---

And no, I’m not “glad he only gets the computer once in a while”. I wish we had more posters like him–unlike others, his threads never make me go, **"** :rolleyes: **"** and hit the Back button in irritation when the hamsters finally relinquish control and I read the OP.
