Must have a quota or something.
He is required to use exactly two punctuations a day and he’s not very good at rationing.
The great thing about the SDMB is that I opened this thread just to make a Peter Cetera joke, and someone already picked up the straight line less than an hour after the OP.
Feckin’ gospel, mate. :smack: It’s a law like…gravity & shit.
But now that he’s figured it out, he has got a blistering response to our teasing and mocking…which he plans on posting March 23rd, 2014.
Aww, damn. This n00b hasn’t been banned, yet. Guess I’ll go back to reading at the Gweeb…
And he hasn’t shown up again, either. Guess he banned himself.
I suspected that might be the case, myself. But I C&P’d some of the Wall-O-Text into google and came up dry.
I still consider the OP* to be spam.
*“OP” in this instance standing for Opening Post, not Original Poster.
I really don’t think any of us are going to go buy pets at petcetera just to show our solidarity in the fight against poor punctuation…

I think you’re glossing over the honor that we of the Straight Dope were chosen to be first!

I hope we don’t get thrown into a trash compactor at Petcetera.
Nah, you get your monkeys at Ikea.
Jeeze, I work my fingers to the bone inserting breaks and punctuation in wall o’text, and don’t even get a mention. :mad:
I think that site is biased against Canadians.
