For the record, and in case Rock n Roach is banned and the board scrubbed of all traces of it’s existence: That was Rock n Roach’s 43rd post. My name is Rufus, not Rufius And a really tacky thing to do on the message board is to ask female dopers to post a link to a picture of their chest when they claim to have large boobies. LOL! flamingbananas hate it when you call them flamingbananas ---

I think it’s tacky when a person is too lazy to read all the posts in a thread and winds up saying the same thing as someone else. I also think popularity contests in SMDB and correcting obvious spelling mistakes is very takcy. ---

I think it’s also very tacky to state things that are tacky in an attempt to be amusing and then go and correct yourself for doing something tacky that you just stated was takcy. ---
