Dear Poster, Just watch as we eat your post, and log you out at random times (so you have to login again at least once). This will probably force you to compose that long-winded, bandwidth-wasting, server-straining essay yet again! But don’t worry, repetition and do-overs build character. Oh, and by the way, it’s too late to correct any typos (preview is your friend, remember)… unless you want a quadruple-post on your hands and on this board. Now, are you sure you **really** want to post that? Love, the hamsters. ---

Personalized messages would be more interesting. “Oh, it’s you again, **scott evil**. Posting AbFab trivia again? You win; no one cares. Posting about your sex life? You’re gonna inadvertently start a flamewar in the Pit. Flirting with yet another board crush? Get a room, boys. Posting about your various injuries? Just take another Percocet, dear, and step away from the computer. That is all.” 😃 - s.e. ---
