Just let this thread die. I’ve gotten over my annoyance and so will you. I don’t even post in this thread anymore. Except this once. And the next time.
Oh, and why the heck did Whiskey Dickens bring a ball to a mud wrestling match? That just seems silly.
I was about to, but I had missed this amazing statement in your OP:
Over** 100 threads started in GQ** in this year alone, and none of them* have any context …
100!! And I was complaining about ten!
Maybe part of the frustration is that some of us are old enough to remember when the Internet was a collaborative enterprise, even back to when it was still the Arpanet. Back when people participated in it – when they both contributed to it and gained from it.
See, I think in a forum like this, posting an interesting question - one that kicks off a good discussion and makes people think about things they’ve never considered before - does count as contributing. I have no clue how many of davidmich’s threads fit that description, but just posting questions rather than answers doesn’t necessarily make you a non-contributor.
Yeah, I’m quite sure there were no variation in participation and contribution back then. I bet you made your connections out of used barbed wire too.
Sheesh. Where did that come from?
Hint: If you want the thread to die, don’t start a new fight with another poster.
Suck it, John!
Both of you idiots shut up and give me context!
I don’t really care if the thread lives or dies, I promised to just post once more, and I wanted that one to count … and now you’ve made me break my promise.
We’re all just a bunch of anonymous posters on a MB, so who really cares anyway?
[Luke] I care. [/Luke]
I knew it! Americans have vowels in their names!
Oh people care man, they care. They care so much, they will start another Pit thread, because this one clearly didn’t work.
No pennies proves he’s Canadian, as do the French pronunciation questions, especially if he lives in Quebec. He’s 16 at the most, hence the Volkswagen question. It’s elementary.
Quick, Watson, the needle.
Guilty as charged. I even linked back to this one.
We don’t need two of these going at the same time.
