Ummm. _psssssst._ NONE of that is what “giving somebody a pass” looks like. In other news, I hope things are going well for you today, **BigT**. 🙂 ---

Finally, I know that I’m not alone in thinking **Zeldar’s** list obsession is strange. These days, I only browse the SDMB using New Posts, so I hadn’t really noticed all of the polls. But, in the past, I’ve noticed his extreme precision with lists and rankings. The style that springs to mind is when he is reviewing what other posters have said. He makes a list (of course!) and each entry has poster, join date, post date, thread title, then the quote. It must take him forever to compose these posts. It doesn’t bother me, but I’m intrigued by the motivation behind it. ---

> [@Honey](#): > > If I got a pm from someone asking me to consider things I was posting, and maybe make a change, I would give it serious thought. We’re not talking about you. We’re talking about **Zeldar**. And I’ll wager five hundred splatterbucks that he wouldn’t be swayed by such an appeal. He’s already demonstrated that he doesn’t understand (or care) why others aren’t interested in the things he is, but he’ll go on posting them anyway. ---

He’s already demonstrated that he doesn’t understand (or care) why others aren’t interested in the things he is, but he’ll go on posting them anyway. You would lose that bet, since he’s stopped posting new poll threads (the last one was yesterday morning) after being asked to space them out more, as noted [here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18537328&postcount=5) ---

That was due to a request by the mods. I doubt a friendly suggestion by some random user would have the same result. ---

He readily agreed to cut back after a polite suggestion. He was not instructed to do so he volunteered. Just because he is compiling statistics on us for our secret lizard overlords doesn’t mean he isn’t a good guy.
