Given the ‘One Trick Pony’ thread that’s been around lately (and which I don’t want to link to) I thought I’d start a thread about what threads make me sit up and post.
Hell, we all have our interests. No one should be slammed if they post more in threads that interest them. I myself have NEVER posted in threads about “left-handed rutabaga pickers from Delaware and the Turnips who feel rejected because of them” threads. Just have no interest in that at all.
So, to move along…here’s a list of my “One Trick Pony” topics that are almost assured of my reading and have a decent chance of hearing me sing out:
Country living vs the 'burbs or city
Babies
The holy triumvirate of Rush
Who wants to be next? C’mon! Expose yourself! You know you want to!
Britain Football (soccer) Backpacking 1990s music Politics, British or international Warfare (and ethics) World War II Moral philosophy (well, parts of) HTML & general non-techie Web stuff General non-techie IT stuff
How do I build the web page for WWII era babies in the Irish coutryside who listen to Rush while reading Yeats and wrestling with an evil chat plot involving evilbeth, backbackers, and politically active British socccer hooligans with moral and ethical dilemmas?
There’s really no single subject that I regular post to, but my one trick seems to be post-n-run.
I know, I know. But I don’t do it a whole lot. There’ve been worse post-padders. The problem is, I really DO have constructive things to add to posts, but everyone always beats me to it. And I hate coming in and saying, “Yeah, what he said.” Instead, I usually come up with some half-assed sarcastic remark that really isn’t all that funny.
other than that, i’m pretty random about what thread i’ll post to, but it has to be interesting. i’m kind of picky that way, hence my lost post ocunt vs. how much i read the boards.

You know, right said fred, including my name in your posts because of off-the-cuff jest I made in another thread was kind of funny the first 42 times. Now it’s just annoying.
It’s making it look like you are me, which you ain’t.
