Posting to threads you haven't read

[Sagan Darkside]

I'm sorry but I've lost all respect for you ever since your started posting claims that the Loch Ness monster can't dance the fandango.

Re: Re: Posting to threads you haven't read

I take it you're being sarcastic about my ideas. Allow me to be equally sarcastic by saying: "Thanks."

You really shouldn't rebuke me and, by extension, condone FraserRonald. Imagine what would happen if lots of people did what FraserRonald does. Threads would quickly disintegrate as posters repeated what had already been said. Rather than having discussions, you'd have a series of disconnected uterrances. It would be equivalent to a room full of people each one giving a speech and not paying much attention to what anyone else was saying. Is that really what you want the boards to be like?

Actually, no, I was completely honest. It was a great idea, but your overreaction is a bit worrisome. Rather than slam someone else for coming up with the same idea, try stepping back and congratulating yourself that it was such a good idea someone else came up with it independently.

Are we cool now?

This sounds like it should be in the iconic troll thread. Maybe not enough smiley faces were applied to in the post?

I wasn't trolling. I was sincere, serious and not grandstanding. If I had been out for attention, I wouldn't have moved this thread to the Meta forum which receives fewer readers than the General board.

Can I make a suggestion? When you really can't read a thread thoroughly but want to post to it, preface your contribution with "This may have been mentioned already" or words to that effect.

Good enough. I will try to be more careful in the future. Can we put this to bed?

See, now this I'm not even going to skim! The only Latin I remember is 'ea magna pulcher est' and that's probably wrong.

Sure.

One trick I should have mentioned is that you can search pages if you're using IE. It's in the Edit menu. I think something similar exists in Netscape. So you can search long threads for key terms before posting, though you have to search one page at a time. Still, it's quick and easy.

And don't forget to thump yourself on the head with a heavy bible.

All is well - so I'll close this.
