it wouldn’t smell so funky if there weren’t all these socks laying around 
Badges!? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges! I don’t have to show you any stinking badges!
I’m down with the decoder rings though.
Can I assure you that the majority of people here definitely want you not to go nude when you are next in public. All of the time. We do, don’t we people? In fact, we order you to keep them on. We overbearingly, dictatorially, demagogically, with no legitimate authority at all, will you not to go nude when you are next in public. YOU MUST SUBMIT TO US IN THIS RESPECT, JOHN!
No it doesn’t, there’ll be 50 posts to a thread, no matter what.
It does, however, make it that much longer to scroll through a page of posts when half of them are twice as many lines as they need to be because of unnecessary carriage returns.
And to re-emphasize an earlier point - it draws attention to the formatting of your posts, obfuscating the content.
Interesting, I get 50 posts per page whether there are 50 lines or 5000 lines.
Are you sure you only get a set number of lines?
John DiFool: For what it is worth, I have no problem with your extra returns. It does stand out however. One of the other regulars has a strange reply thing going on where the quote portion of the text gets indents with ‘>’ signs. Again, no problem, but it does stand out.

You may be right. I always assumed it was static page length (another VB board I’m on is), instead of number of posts per page. There, when you get longwinded, you get three posts per page - its usually big signatures and lots of photos.
John, you’d have to try a lot harder than this to annoy me. Curiosity is one thing. But anyone who gets their panties in a bunch over such a little thing needs to have their world shook up a bit. Keep your personal style and be proud.
Thanks a lot, asshole. I never read his posts like that before, but you can be sure I will from now on.
Who’s getting their panties in a bunch over it? Some people are just saying it’s kind of annoying.
If the shoe fits…
Shoes, Panties, Badges, Socks? Is this a pitting or shopping trip to the Mall?
Keep your hair on.
You’re getting your knickers in a twist over nothing there, rayh
I must quote this in case it disappears. 
Thanks for the laugh.
Give us some credit. If we’re going to disappear a post, we’re not going to leave quotations in place. 
Good thing I have a screen shot.
It has a rhythm, I can totally dig it. It carries a Cummings-like sparseness, and hints at an almost Dickinsenian dispair, but holds itself aloof as though Rumsfeld himself penned it. Bravo!
I am. Right now, at this very moment, my underpants are bunched up in my crack, and John DiFool’s short-margin posts are the reason. I was reading one of his posts, wriggling this way and that, gesticulating in bewilderment over his unorthodox margins, and I ended up with my panties in a bunch.
So I wish he’d stop.
Nah, just my work uniform.
That was funny!
You guys work for Pinochet, now? You’re disappearing things?
:shudder:
