Was yours? Is mine? Are any of these? Does what we do here have any intrinsic meaning or value? Probably not. It’s fun to pretend though. ---

Making a smart ass anonymity comment to the one person on the planet that posts under their own full government name is just hilarious. What are the odds? ---

> [@Rigamarole](#): > > So if someone says “lol” they can’t possibly be a grad student? Despite the SDMB’s intense loathing of “lol” it is really extremely common among normal people of all walks of life who find themselves on the Internet. Granted, I only have BA but I see it this way: Normal person = IQ of 100. Normal person with more than eight years on the Dope + Dope loathes “lol” = Normal person does not use “lol,” if only not on the Straight Dope Message Board. (Because a normal person would know the use of “lol” makes him look dumb as brick wall on the SDMB.) Person on the Dope + person using “lol” = IQ of approximately 65, if I’m feeling generous. I would like to think that people with 65 points on any IQ curve couldn’t be graduate students, but I guess I can make an exception in **Michael Ellis** ’ case. ---
