It’s ego-shattering though to realize you’ve left so little impression that no-one can even summon up the energy to dislike you after almost 2500 posts. Some Johnny-come-latelys seem to summon up maelstroms of hate the minute they step onto the board, but there does not seem to be any recognition for those mildly-objectionable people who plod away year after year. Hah, I’ve been roughly 5 times as irritating as you and I got bupkis! Now, I’m off to replace all of Anaamika’s pencils with limp noodles before she starts taking anyone’s advice. ---

OK, so I was completely correct when I suggested you actually meant the word “asymptotically”, and now you admit it was a typo. Yet when I said that: > [@Rigamarole](#): > > And for that matter, “asympotically” is not even a word. Perhaps he meant “asymptotically”?

You got your wish anyways - now I can remember you as the guy who not only misspelled his username, but is also a dick about it. 😛 ---

This thread was an eye-opener for me. I didn’t realize how little attention I paid to individual voices here. Almost as little as I do to actual people in real life! The only thing I know about **Annie Xmas** is that she picked a cool username. Annie Christmas is one of the lesser-known characters in U.S. folklore, one of the few women, and possibly the only African American woman. I read about her as a kid in Maria Leach’s _Rainbow Book of American Folktales and Legends_ where, for some reason, the illustrator drew her white. I’ve noticed **Anaamika** is Indian mainly because I think Indian women are extremely attractive. I always look forward to an **elucidator** post. Ditto **Exapno Mapcase**. In food and cooking threads, I look for **pulykamell** and **Chefguy** , because they always offer excellent advice. Also, **puly** really knows his shit about Chicago cuisine, which I adore. ---

Better leave that tab open and check back every ten minutes…” When I see certain usernames: **John Clay** : “Here we go down the rabbit hole again.” (Although I’m a little more charitable since I found out he’s bipolar. That’s an awful burden to carry.) **kanicbird** : “Common sense or New Age-y woo? Could go either way. You never know with dude.” **Robert163** : “Oh god, here we go again with ‘Muhammad was a slaver and a pedophile, and Islam is eeeevul!’, followed by posts about being sleepy and digs at **tomndebb**.” **Ramira** and **Kobal2** : “When are they going to realize that they’re never going to get through to **Robert163** , no matter how many reasonable arguments they offer?” ---

Tell me about it… a little heads up would have been nice. And your Godson is still sitting in that tiny chair by the front window waiting for “Uncle Uke” to take him to the circus. Kind of pathetic since he is now 17. ---

There are some subjects that people enjoy. I’m the same way, certain topics come up that I enjoy engaging in and i’m sure I repeat myself but considering that it’s likely news to readers that never read it before or forgot I ever said it to begin with…hell I likely forgot. ---

> [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > This thread was an eye-opener for me. I didn’t realize how little attention I paid to individual voices here. Almost as little as I do to actual people in real life! I have three mental Doper categories: If I recognize the name, it’s “Oh, that guy’s been around a while. Probably normalish.” If I don’t recognize the name, it’s “Possible newbie. Could be insane.” Then there’s a very very small third category of names I recognize as belonging to the “batshit looney/complete asshole - could be entertaining” group. ---
