Still batting 1.000

I just wanted to point out that as I near the completely irrelevant 600 post mark, I have yet to be the victim of a double-post.

I think this qualifies as sufficiently mindless and pointless.

If not, then I also wanted to share that I like the colors blue and green.

Needless to say we’ll be jumping all over you the minute you double-post, Mully. :wink:


Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle.

In some cases that could be used as motivation to double post.

And while we’re on the subject, what’s everyone’s personal best for the most consecutive posts? I had a triple once. The standard double, plus one more when I got impatient and clicked on it again.

Not a real simulpost, but does anyone else also see Mully’s OP twice ? Once at the top, then AWB’s reply, then Mully’s OP again !
Also, Moosie’s reply and Mully’s second OP are both grey so they seem to ‘merge’.

Am I crazy or do you guys see it too ?

D’oh !!

It is a VERY nice piece of work, mr. AWB. I salute you :wink:

And why is it that the little document icon, the time and date, and the profile/e-mail/whatever that third icon is are all on different lines?

How thick can you BE :wink:

Read this thread AGAIN. NOW!

Thank you, Coldfire. :smiley:

For those who are wondering: I selected View/Source in IE and found the HTML code that generated Mullinator’s initial message. I pasted this at the end of my message, separating them with a </tr> to end the table row of my mesage. The <tr> from his message started a new row, complete with the correct shade of gray. I left the </tr> off of his message so that the SDMB software would finish the page nicely. (Something did get lost in the handling, which is why the date stamp and the logos are on different lines. :()

And since this second message from him was really in my post, the SDMB gave the next post a dark gray background as it would’ve had I not played Mr. HTML.

Fourteen. :cool:

Admittedly, this was intentional. It was a test in preparation for a multi-posting contest. After I got fourteen without even trying hard, I decided this wasn’t such a good idea.

I also managed a double post after flood control was added.

It is too clear, and so it is hard to see.

Oh, for…!!!

AWB’s trickery will not be fogotten when the next favorite poster thread comes around.

But, that was a pretty smooth piece of work. You must use your power wisely.

I shall honor you, Mully with a new sig line.


“Your posting style resembles a cross between a spastic squirrel and one-handed ventriloquist.”
–Mullinator, paraphrased–

What irritates me is every time i hit 990 posts the next day I’, thrown back at least 10… the system is defying me hitting 1000!


If you feel that you must suffer, then plan your suffering carefully–as you choose your dreams, as you conceive your ancestors.
