What motivates these people who sign up just to post ONE post in a zombie thread?

Do you have a particular post/poster in mind Argent Towers? I only ask because a zombie that I had posted to *many *years ago was resurrected last week (just the one post, ragged and poorly written etc etc) and I had a vague creepy feeling that it might have been a sockpuppet from more recent threads who had sought out my previous entries to give me a case of explosive diahorrea.

Or not. :smiley:

“Numismatics”!? You just coined that word, didn’t you?

aww, just label 'em all 1916-D MS 68 with full bands and knock off for lunch early, that’s my suggestion

Someone’s being a little flippant today.

It’s spelled pneumismatics. The art of holding your breath while diving for underwater treasure chests filled with pieces of eight.

Or all 1940s vg and smelt. And how we always smelt right about now! :smiley:

No ---- but my dad was part of coining the term “falery” and “falerist” <sic?> for the collecting of small pin-backed items like your assorted Soviet sports and award pins. Its one of our clans claims to fame.

Or we’re possible all being silly on porpoise ------- or something else a little fishy.

I have a feeling that a lot of the people who find this board via Google think of it as more of a “Yahoo Answers” type place instead of a message board where people have conversations. These are the same people who post questions and never return to respond. They get their answer and they’re done.

This is me on other boards. I’ve had to get hypervigilant about noticing the posting date because it’s just so tempting to make a comment when it’s about a topic I think I know something about.

Also, if I were answering someone’s question for help, I would probably still do it, with the likely vain hope that they might see it If it requires any effort, though, I probably won’t go before 2007 or so.

Hey, you smelt it, you dealt it :stuck_out_tongue:

Reported.

Life imitates art…

This is too ironic to be coincidence.
