Yes, yes they have. Think the quote was "You can't spell a four letter word with three letters given to you."

Sits back in awe and dismay at the accuracy of ConnerSB's prediction of Hand of Evil's post #20.
Forgets previous personal vow to not contribute to this thread. Ignores OP as I write a diatribe accusing ConnerSB and Hand of Evil as being the same person. Midway through the 8th paragraph, decide that this is a litle too inflammatory and should be toned down. Scrolls back up to top of message, rereads first few sentences, selects paragraphs 1-3 with mouse, begins typing new message.
New message appears to waffle between admiration for ConnerSB's predictive powers, thinly veiled accusations that ConnerSB is Hand of Evil, thinly veiled accusations that the tow are seperate people but in collusion on their posts.
Goes on to question the validity of any topic that ConnerSB and Hand of Evil have posted in. Realizes that this has nothing to do with the OP. Adds a pithy one liner that if read while drunk and sleep deprived might be misconstrued to have relevance to topic at hand. Adds a bunch of smileys, apparently at random. Pats self on back. Hits submit button content in the knowledge that all will admire me.
Misses the fact that the original paragraphs 4-8 (only partial paragraph) are still in message. Other readers read the edited message followed by the partial un-edited message and realize that I am even dumber than I sound, couldn't put together a real insult without resorting to profanity and have the spelling skills of a pre-schooler.

*Idly wanders in, sipping coffee. Reads posts.*
*Wonders if the hated BoEF refers to some sort of potted meat substitute.*
*Glances over his shoulder to see if anyone from The Board is behind him. Laughs uncertainly in all the wrong places. *
*Gets paranoid, thinks that everybody else on the Board knows something he doesn't and are laughing at him on a secret threat open only to old-timers. Wonders if there's a Board Exam he'll have to pass using a predetermined number of encrypted, codified boardspeak from the following sources:
Blade Runner
The Big Lebowski
Gravity's Rainbow
Star Wars/Trek
The Smurfs
LoTR
Monty Python
The Illuminatus Trilogy
[etc.]
*Clicks on Djeta Thernadier's image to see if it expands. Realizes s/he posted to another contemporaneous and seemingly identical post, is briefly heartbroken.*
*Forgetting who said it, but recognizing it to be true, that "every bums lot in life is his own responsibility", heads for greener vacuums, sipping coffee.*

Notes that she also has the spelling skills of a preschooler. Curiously wanders into the thread wondering what Smurfs have to do with anything. Seconds that A-Kitty's avatar is cute. Decides to post something here because she just got back from an almost two hour long presentation on pretentious art books for her job. Wonders to herself why anyone would spend $250 on a book on Andy Warhol. Admits she likes Andy Warhol. But can't imagine spending $250 on a book. Also wonders who spends $75 on a book of photographs of beaded carpets from 16th century Spain. Thinks that anyone who gets mad over a typo is a sillyhead. Wonders if this post will triplicate itself like so many of her posts do. Realizes that she has nothing on topic to say. Stops typing.
*hits post* and kinda wonders if it was all worth it.

Bad-mouths the Consumer Fetishization of Warhol and reiterates that the lawsuit is on the way. I'm going to like owning your company, Darren! Gimme my financial relief! Every post to this thread is taking money from my thread...the original!
Laments my own obsolescence. Scratches head and wonders if maybe there's more to life than fnord.
Prolly not.

My hat of [insert original topic here, but mispelled] know no limit!!!!111!!
Smiles smugly at my esoteric post of RPGnet insider jokes and waits for someone else who's "initiated" to post the follow-up smily face.
Flames Harlock because he's a Conservative Mormon, even though I am too. Reports my own post to the moderators.

Writes a response to the very first post, having obviously not read any of the other replies.
Flames the author for something he didn't say, then puts a smiley at the end so it won't look like a flame.
Makes a bad pun, which everyone ignores.
