It didn’t come off sarcastic? It was supposed to, so excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusse me!!! Would a little smiley have helped? :o
What is that? Is that the sound of a toilet flushing in the distance? Oh no, it’s just my lame attempt at a fun thread dying- slowly.
Fine. This thread was lame. Very lame. And it’s dying. I can feel it. Stop. Stop, Dopers. I can feel it. I…can…feel…it. Daisy, Daisy, bring me your answer please…
Anyway, I’m amazed that people actually took this seriously. It was a joke! A joke, I say!
I swear. I really like newbies. I was a newbie once(on AOL). And to think, I thought their threads plumeted. I like newbies. In fact, I like them a lot. Yeah, that’s it. I shall be the staunch defender of newbies. They shall hail me. Hail! Hail! All newbies hail me! Your leader! No one cares for you like I do! Hail!
not claiming affiliation one way or another here, but: its sort of a damned if you, do damned if you don’t thing ain’t it?
Get snapped at for ressurecting old posts, but if they start new threads with out looking for relevant old posts they get tore up that way too. Whats a newbie to do?
Anyway – while there’s still a newbie inside ya, ya won’t get stale. While there’s newbies still on the SDMB, it shall always rock. While we continue to think the sweet thoughts of newbiedom – we piss the fogeys off. Life is sweet.
Boy, that really torques me right off- “What does AFAICS mean?”, the newbie whines. As an oldie, I roll my eyes at you, I point to your post and laugh, and feel very superior right now.
HA!

Oh, and Mahaloth- first rule when you are in a hole: stop digging.
In all fucking seriousness, the thing I like about newbies is that they aren’t afraid to skewer sacred cows. They don’t know the history of a person, so they treat them as they see 'em.
