**lobley** , dumplin’, please, PLEASE do try to think before you post. And cut back on the caffeine. Caffeine can fuck shit up, _especially_ if you’re slightly obsessive anyway. …and **tomndebb** is right about beer. Pop across the water to Cumbria some time and have a sup of our delicious ales. It’s all about the taste. At least, that’s why _I_ drink good real ale, and not cardboard tasting keg shite 😉 ---

**Michael Ellis** , **Happy Lendervedder** , would you like to apply your eye-rolling and sarcastic remarks to **Fugazi’s** [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=121965) on the exact same subject too, or are you just enjoying the chance to have another go a **lobley**? **Happy** - I guess because the other post was more mildly phrased it deservers a little joke and a happy smilie whereas this one deserves > [@](#): > > The downside of a message board: everything you’ve ever posted can and will come back to haunt you. And people only know who you are from what you post. If a person does say something that makes him or her look like a jackass, it’s a permanent record, my friend. Double standard at all? ---

> [@](#): > > _originally posted by lobley_ > I have a question. How is it, that every time I post, the ‘posts:’ statistic on the left stays on ‘379’? You could search in ATMB and find this discussed. If memory serves, the answer is that no one is certain. It seems that one hamster places your new post in a thread, then a second hamster increments your post count. The second hamster naps on the job. You might also notice that when a post fails to increment your post count, it also fails to increase the number of posts to the thread - it’s almost as if you never even posted, but you have. ---

I know that if I calm down I’ll be drawn back into the Jaws of the SDMB and this thread. > > Help!! **lobley** has a track record of “losing it,”, which prompted me to post what I posted here. I wasn’t trying to be a dick. **Fugazi** used real words, complete sentences and even humor in his rant about the board’s slowness. **lobley** used-- well…re-read his first three posts in this thread. I’m not sure what to call that. But I suspect that someday yours truly will make a jackass of himself here (if I haven’t already). And **Fran** , I’m counting on you to laugh and point when it happens. 🙂 Happy, who now knows better than to open lobley pit threads ---
