anyone nodice SmileyDeath’s posts? seems to have just started today… hes new… hes 14… he posts alot… he uses alot of smiley faces. and he wonders why they teach math. Anyone have a prediction on if hes gonna last a week? Think hes just plain too young and will get ripped to shreds first time someone diagrees with him? Think hes showing remarkable maturity for such a young’en? what age do you think someone typically should be to reach the level of discussion this board has as a standard? ---

A harmless but mildly annoying, one-line drive-by poster whose posts tend to be pork-rind-esque in their lack of filling, toothsome goodness. Now that I’ve pimped my autobiography, I’d have to say SmileyDeath might turn out OK if he lurks and learns a bit longer. ---

Not much in the capitalization or apostrophe departments, that’s for sure. ---

I see this as less of a test of our boards, our patience, and our moderators, and more as an experiment in attention span. If he can stick around, Smiley will probably end up as a really interesting human. But with a wide world of cars, illegal intoxicants, and genitalia out there, I doubt the boards will hold his interest for long. ---
