Ace of Swords asks opinions as to which poster writes the best.
At this moment, it has 16 posts, and 369 reads. Wondering if anyone else is willing to fess up that they checked in just on the offchance that some deluded fellow poster might have included their name in such august company?
Of course. As Asimov once remarked during a lecture, “I’ve never been guilty of False Modesty. Or even True Modesty, for that matter.”
Of course, nobody mentioned me. Sniff.
Yeah, I checked. I was hoping against hope that someone remembered a couple of the handful of truly excellent posts I made in ages past and would nominate me. Alas, it is not to be.
I checked, but I knew I wouldn’t be mentioned simply because most of my posts tend to be throw away lines. I (along with pretty much everyone on the board) have had some great moments, but volume drowns out quantity. But, I do have the highest popularity rating among posters with 0 posts.
Well, I admit. I clicked, even though there’s really no chance that my name would be there. I seldom write more than a sentence or two, so I doubt I’d be noticed as a “good writer” especially when there are plenty better.
But after the thread soulmate Cranky started in which my name was mentioned in the OP - I figured what the hell, you never know!
Plus, yeah, I was wondering if maybe there was a poster out there that’s really good that I haven’t been clued into yet.
I do periodic vanity searches. It stops the screaming e-mails that I used to get from people who addressed me in a thread that I never read. Imagine my surprise when that thread came out on top.
