Here’s a couple of hints for how to ingratiate yourself on each board: 1. **General Questions** - Ask if 0.999999etc really equals 1. Or try to dispute the Monty Hall problem. OIr better yet, nonchantlantly ask whether an airplane could take off from a treadmill. All winners. 2. **Great Debates** - Conspiracy theory threads always invite well balnced and interesting debate, especially if it involves 9/11 or Lee Harvey Oswald. Start one today. 3. **Cafe Society** - Instant acceptance can be had if you simply throw in a tangentially relevant Simpsons reference/quote into almost any thread. Also, remember, Josh Wheden is a god, do not talk ill of him…EVER! Star Wars an Lord of the Rings don’t really get much attention in CS, so don’t waste your time. 4. **BBQ Pit** - Scour news sites for the most blatant episode of parental/teacher/police misconduct and post it and how outraged you are. Then wait for the accolades as everyone also chimes in about their disgust. Unexplored territory also includes driving, cell phones, cell phone service providers, movie theater talkers, George Bush, Best Buy, SUVs, and surpisingly the moderators. Welcome! ---
