LOL … Zette, commiseration is another matter entirely. Yeah, I could still use the Dragon, if my damn computer would support it right. The hardware is currently the biggest obstacle to making the stupid program functional. Eutychus … maybe we’re just too “normal” (you get the same giggle out of that that I did?) to be remembered on the Who’s Who popular kids list. 🙂 ---

Hey, this is the best thread on the board! I feel much better after reading it - so I’m not the only person who feels kinda uncool! Losers, rebel! Post to every thread, even if you can’t think of anything to say! ---

I don’t think I’ve been mentioned, but I don’t read every thread… Of course, people don’t dare bash me too hard…I hold the strings on the TM Homepage profiles! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA ``` *"...and I have warts on my penis.

I feel better. I haven’t been here for long, but I do post frequently. I also felt that I was a thread killer. I’d type a response and check back for any more responses and mine would be the last, I’d check back later, still the last post, check back later…well you get the idea. Be nice and don’t leave me hangin’ again! Actually, since we’re all commiserating(sp)together I know you fellow unpopular posters won’t let me down…please… 😉 ---

I put a note in one posting for someone to e-mail me when they read it (I was going to send the first respondant a bottle of wine). No one ever did, and the thread died after my posting. Granted, it was in pig latin, but you would thing SOMEONE would have read it… Oh well. Welcome StStella 🙂 ---

Fretful - Hey, I’ll still hang out with y’all! Consider me the ambassador or something. 😉 In all seriousness, I was friends with both the “losers” and the popular kids in college, and had a HELL of a lot more fun with the losers.

A paradox… Many posters listed here are never mentioned in “Posters who…” threads. Yet now they are mentioned here. So they are now mentioned in a “Posters who…” thread. So they no longer belong here. Posters should be mentioned here if and only if they aren’t mentioned here. ---

Precisely, Gilligan. Actually, this thread was partially meant to get some of us out of that club. And it has. 🙂 I honestly think that because I am not a ranting, raving zealot, I don’t get mentioned. When some troll comes in and tries to incite, I prefer not to take the bait. I know ahead of time it’s a waste of breath (er, whatever), and that these people are simply not worth my effort. Their minds won’t be changed, so debate is pointless. I also refuse to be manipulated, as much as I can. I can think of at least three occasions where someone on the board was trying to get my goat, and my reaction was simply silence. That may make me boring to some, but I prefer to think I’m maintaining dignity. I do know the more reactive people are better known. I really wonder why some people bother responding to some of the more infamous troll-like folks around here (who don’t need to be named–we all know who they are). What’s the point? It’s either because people genuinely think that if they yell loud enough, the troll will be converted, or because they simply enjoy lambasting someone in a public forum. In any event, Laura don’t play that. * * * “Me fail English? That’s unpossible!” “English? Who needs that? I’m never going to England.” ---

**Mike King:** {{I think it’s because we don’t have cool screen names for people to remember. I’m thinking of switching to something like Jesus Christ, or Bug Vomit, or Twelve Inch Penis.
