[QUOTE=TokyoPlayer] I agree with the other posters who say they have mixed feelings, as I’ve participated in some of his threads, but I’ve also agreed with other pittings of other one-track posters, asking them to refrain from starting multiple treads one the same topic. [/QUOTE] :smack: After rethinking, **Sam** shares nothing of the characteristics of the people who are really annoying about opening scores of threads but abandoning them. Post away! ---

Keep posting **Siam** if for some reason you start a thread on something that isn’t of interest to me then I simply wont read it and that option is open to every other person on these boards. By the way why was **Scrambled** suspended? Haven’t had too much time on the Dope lately so am a little out of touch. ---

[/QUOTE] This is a valid point that has never been made in this thead, or indeed, on this board, ever - especially not in convenient run-on sentence form! I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t even addressed in the OP right before fifty people ignored it and made the same point anyway. Thank you for your valuable and, above all, unique and non-shitty contribution, which was absolutely worth bumping a thread that hasn’t been posted to in four days! ---

I just assumed that others had already made the point and that I was merely as it were just casting my vote for **siam** but now you inform me that I was the first to make that particular point and it makes me feel proud and innovative. Thanks for your validation. Its a bit of a bastard trying to read and post on these boards when my time to do so is severly limited (Literally to stolen minutes from working time ) But I’m sure that somebody as quick on the uptake and perceptive,(not to mention as intelligent )as you so undoubtedly are guessed that straight away. You really are an example to us all. Bye Bye. ---

**Scrambledeggs** is suspended 30 days for not heeding warnings about his/her posting style. I can’t find the announcement in \*About This Message Board \*. He/she should be back soon. You posted in \*\*Guinastasia’\*\*s Pit thread – where she complained about him starting too many threads – after he had been suspended, I think. My reference two posts above is to Paul McCartney using the three-syllable phrase “scrambled eggs” as a space-filler for the three opening notes of the tune that was to become _Yesterday_. I think the whole line was “Scrambled eggs, oh baby how I love your legs.” “Leg” scans equally well so that if Heather had been around then he would probably have felt comfortable using the same general phrase. ---

[QUOTE=Revtim] It indeed was not addressed in the OP. [/QUOTE] Hmm. Well damn. Kinda takes a bit of the scorch out of my burn then, doesn’t it? I _meant_ to include it. Guess I was confused because I’ve put it in OPs before and just forgot that time. I shouldn’t _have_ to put it in OPs because you’d think that most people would be even marginally inspired in the effort it takes to think up their posts, but, well, you know… ---

Also, FWIW, I was just unusually irritated with everything the morning I wrote the OP. The issue isn’t really something I give much of a damn about, and the post wasn’t something that I would have written any other time, I don’t think. I stopped caring soon after I wrote it, then ended up having to defend it even though I really didn’t give a shit. (If I just said “fuck it” and caved right away, I’m sure I’d have been accused of bowing to pressure.) So I guess I will apologize to **Siam Sam** , and concede that perhaps his farang suicide thread did send me on a night-long link-hopping expedition, so his threads ain’t all bad. Sorry, **Sam** , if you’re still reading this. It really wasn’t a Pit-worthy thing. ---

Let Siam Sam post all he wants to; he is a good guy and his posts are usually entertaining. Plus, he usually agrees with me when I bash Texas. I need the support. ---
