There I was, excuses all set, the BS about the typo and everything, looking good, then YOU have to come along **Lissa**.

You don’t annoy me either, except when you make my perfectly plausible excuses useless.

You don’t irritate me, boy. Whenever I see your name I picture your photograph where you’re hugging that little kitten. _poof_ instant mushy feelings.

Hmmmmm… there are three people I don’t irritate. That’s a record for me.

My non-irritating list:

**FairyChatMom  
Rue  
Exgineer  
Flamsterette\_X  
Homebrew  
Shib  
Probably Others**

Maybe **Homebrew** shouldn’t be on that list, being as he is my major league board crush. He should be on my list of those who get me all hot and sweaty when I think about 'em. 😉

I’d like to point out that I’m hypoallergenic and wash right off in most situations. (But I’m not for internal use).

Well, pretty much no Dopers irritate me, on account of how I love you all, and everything. But just for kicks, here are some names I pulled out pretty much at random as examples of folks that have never irritated me:

**samarm**  
**2trew**  
**Shemem**  
**arisu**  
**CRorex**  
**Orange Skinner**  
**owlstretchingtime**  
**Sunspace**  
**Tapioca Dextrin**  
**Payton’s Servant**  
**Kallisti**  
**Jabba**  
**Tiburon**  
**Ferret Herder**  
**avabeth**  
**Mr. Blue Sky**  
**Latch**  
**ivylass**  
**Duke**  
**FairyDust**  
**Trion**  
**Skerri**  
**Zoe**  
**gallows fodder**  
**JuanitaTech**  
**Linty Fresh**  
**MercyStreet**  
**Smeghead**  
**coyasicanbe**

…And so on, and so on, ad infinitum.

Un-irritatedly yours,  
Kn\*ckers

Um… let’s see… there’s Sean, Kempy, Lucas, Daniel, and probably more that I can’t think of right now. But they don’t say that.

It’s just almost everyone who comes across this screen name on these forums asks me something about drumming and flams. I’ve gotten used to it… no big deal.

There is a story behind it, but my machine is refusing to cooperate (the temperamental beast that it is). It keeps on telling me ther’es not enough memory to run the document that I put the link to the story on for future reference. (MSN is giving me problems, too) I’ll restart this thing after I post this message, then give you the story in another post.

I’ve seen it here and there around these forums, and thought it looked interesting. Any story behind it?

That’s a record? Really? Well… that might be a record for me too, I seriously don’t know.

Oh, and I probably owe you an email… or do you owe me one? I really don’t know, or care. Maybe I’ll email you in a bit… after I check email, and email Kempy and others too probably.

Well, as I don’t believe I have been listed as a “poster who does not irritate”, I must conclude that I am irritating.

That’s cool, I can live with that ☹

I don’t give a rat’s ass whether I irritate you or not. I really don’t. This whole popularity contest shit needs to stop. We should be more mature than this. If you all love each other so much, use the e-mail buttons, stop wasting our time with this crap.

Yeah, I have my favorite posters. I have my least favorite posters, too. Do I bother to name them? No. What purpose does it serve? It simply shows how childishly cliquey this board gets more often than it is willing to admit.

Yes, I would love to ignore this whole thread, but it’s like a train wreck. If you want to kiss each other’s ass, do it privately through the “e-mail (whoever)” button, and stop wasting everyones time. How sucking up to **JohnDoe** fights ignorance in any way is far beyond my grasp…

I think I’m just inirritable. Unirritatable?

Way too calm!

Anyway, I do have a special place for some Doper’s, namely the PNW Dinner Dope contingent. That would be **Flam** , **Zyada** , **rjk** , and **Scotticher**.

The rest of you are cool too! 🙂

**NoClueBoy** , I don’t know about you… but I think maybe **Casey1505** would like those hugs and kisses better from a woman. 😛

So… _hugs and kisses **Casey1505** , saying it’ll be all right… the thread will be over soon enough_

Good enough for ya, or what? 😃

By the way, **NCB** … do I owe you an email, too?  
Thanks, **zoogirl** … you’ve just inspired me to add a few names to my list:

**Scotticher  
rjk  
Zyada

You have entirely the wrong emotion, there.

People who need to call attention to themselves by injecting petty rants into otherwise innocuous, (not to say mundane and pointles), threads that really _are_ easily avoided do not irritate–they amuse.
