Erratic. I’ve been here forever, but even if you add up my old posts under my other name, it would barely be over 1,000. I stick to MPSIMS and Humble Opinion. I’ve posted a few times in GQ (animal related questions) and in the Pit even less. I scan down the list of topics and only open the ones that catch my eye. That leaves a lot of threads never opened. I miss a lot since I work on the weekends and don’t have time to access the boards. I sometimes try to play catch up but usually…if it isn’t on the first two pages, I miss it. Michi ---

I’m a mix between LifeWillFall (almost-never-have-anything-interesting-to-say-so-I-won’t-post poster) and MikeG (hijack poster). I was almost gonna not post to this one cause I figured no one would care or even notice, but then I thought, hey, if they don’t notice, then what would it matter if I make an ass of myself (like I’m doing right now)? Well there I hijacked another one :mad:. See here I am getting all pissed and talking to myself and no one even cares… AHH it happened _again_ :mad::mad::mad: ---

I am, by far, the most valuable poster here. Undoubtedly, this is due to my extraordinary humility that inspires awe among all who read my posts. Of course, that means everyone. How do I know? Because, surely, the first thing every poster does when logging onto the Dope is a search on my user name. How have I gained such popularity? That’s easy. It’s the boundless kindness and cool temperament that seethe from every character I type. What do you mean you’ve never heard of me? I am the Great and Mighty **Tymp** , Maser of All Things Damp and Astringent! Get back under your rock, slug! ---

I mostly post to MPSIMS, but I do come to IMHO too. Never posted in the Pit or GQ, think i got into GD once when a thread was moved. I look at the boardsas a pleasant distraction from my usual boring life. I will admit to flirting on the boards, because I never do IRL. I find a more receptive audience here, at least they’ve never thrown bricks. I do not consider myself one of the Elite Clique they speak of in MPSIMS and probably never will be. I post when I feel like it. If someone has a problem with one of my posts, they can always post back to me. I try not to take it personally. I’m a responder, only started 1 thread so far - had to commemorate #666. Just an irreverent joke. I’m rambling, so I’m gonna submit this now. ---

I kinda just got here. Looking for something to comment on. Somehow, the other time I was here it seemed different. Maybe I’ll wait a week and try again. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-kind-of-poster-are-you/44195.md?page=2)
