Somewhat-newbie posting to pad post count, regardless of the fact that it will probably get him flamed.

Other irrelevant information so as to hide fact that post really says nothing.

More intellegent post that points out that any other posts before this one are ipso facto _not_ the last in the thread. Addendum sentence that makes the clarifing point that this post is, in fact, the last in the thread.

Poster too lazy to read the whole thread, ask’s what we are talking about.

Lame analogy designed to make everybody else think that poster is Dennis Miller.

[quote] [b] Attempt at quoting another post that doesn’t come out right because newbie poster is convinced he knows what he is doing and doesn’t bother to preview his post [/ b] [/ quote]

Gratutitous mention of Hamburger Helper in order to entice other posters to ask what the hell he is talking about in an attempt to pad his post count.

Sig line that makes no sense.

Politely curious inquiry to previous poster regarding Hamburger Helper.  
Poorly executed attempt at sexual euphemism regarding previous poster, poster and Hamburger Helper.  
Self-defeating comment.  
Final realization that original comment regarding Hamburger Helper was ploy by previous poster to pad count.

Poster referring to previous post in which he was mentioned as a previous poster, pompously padding is post count, by not answering any questions posed to him.
