Post in which I angrily denouce tangential remark in post that itself was only obliquely related to OP. Angry response from denounced party. Angry response to denounce party. Rinse, lather, repeat about 400 posts worth, with other parties joining in. OP is long forgotten, but thread is now 6 pages longer. (See “Does this board skew left?”) ---

In usual manner, poster does not post all weekend. Must catch up on 36 concurrent threads in the first 12 minutes of work Monday morning, while also making time for e-mail, e-bay, Google images of certain temptress actress spotted on late night TV over the weekend, and coffee and donuts. Very little time to construct a post containing any manner of coherence. Still working off hangover from Saturday night. As of yet, coffee ineffective. Preview is clearly not engaged. ---

Posting to a Threadspotting thread in order to make your username seem hip. Posting something lame because you don’t know beans about the topic, but wanted to post anyways. Not wanting people to remember you as lame, you mention how much you love the SMDB and all the people here. ---

Welcome to **D505**. Query as to meaning of his/her screen name, and whether **D505** is male or female. Arrival of initiation – er, _hospitality_ – committee. Much ensuing talk of robo-goats, calamari, trebuchets, and other assorted horrors.
