Idiot posts cluttering up the forum

Sadistic? nope! A bit of rough is alright......tests your mettle.

Don't get me wrong,I'm not into putting my balls in a vice, unless maybe, if there was something pretty on the other end........


Hmmm, I wonder how long it will take PC Pete to axe this one?

 

I'm surprised it lasted this long! More shocking is is that nobody else chimed in.

 

Obviously,just an idiot Thread.
Ignore it and it will go away.

 

We all have the ability to pass on any subject we don't want to read. I like reading all the ****, good and bad. Cheap entertainment!!!

 

Hey Mariner nothing cheap in this one nearly cost us the war, and lost a lot of good 'forumers' (is there such a word? maybe not in English but try Americun English - like wot she is spoke and there maybe) But thanks for the support - we needed it! and some of us still do!!!

 

Another idiot poster here!


Now if you'll excuse me, I am off to start a new thread...

 

Well root Toot Toot,

Tell me what it is us idgits got to stick together!

 

Heya Walrus!

I dunno. I've posted many silly posts. And a few genuine ones.

What disturbs me though are these threads with the title of "HELP!!!!" 95% of them, I am unable to provide any guidance thereto and, what's more, I have little interest in reading about them. I could, perhaps, choose to enjoy these threads in a moment of schadenfreude, but I fail to see why I couldn't get the same satisfaction from the thread even if I did know its topic. I can't imagine how much collective expertise is wasted by these posts which don't get into any specifics in the title. It'd at least be nice to know what I'm clicking on before I click on it.

My personal favorite was the guy who posts "Another Help Question!" Apparently, he wants to mate an upper with a lower...

But he didn't give any more specifics. My initial assumption was that he was trying to mate an upper-lands animal, like one that lives in the mountains, with a lower-lands animal, such as one that lives in a prairie. I assumed he was trying to mate an upper-lands tiger with a lower-lands gorilla. Naturally, I thought this was quite silly. Obviously, an upper-lands tiger cannot be mated with a lower-lands gorilla, regardless of what type of RTV you are using. But since the guy seemed in dire straights, I was tempted to suggest that some mood lighting and some romantic music might help his situation. It turns out though, that his question had NOTHING to do with mating different species. He actually had a question about outdrives. Who knew? I keep thinking though, it's a good thing I didn't suggest the mood lighting and romantic music- talk about making a fool of yourself!

Regardless, even in normal "Help!" threads, a number of people certainly click on the links wondering whether their knowledge of design, composites, wood, steel, aluminum, engines, propellers, jet drives, electronics, fasteners, repair, restoration, canvas, tyvek, or lexan might be useful... only to find out that the poster is actually interested in the mating of gorillas and tigers- a topic they know nothing about and for which they can be of no assistance.

It just seems to me to be a waste of everyone's time.

 

Tyvek

What is a tyvek and does it mate with anything?

 

It's the absolute choicest sail material... for rednecks. So I guess it might mate with its second cousin or something.

What is tyvek? (click here)

 

Tyvek - yeah, tis a cheap imitation canvas that looks cheap, shoddy and generally crap! It has it's good points tho' as a cheap, shoddy imitation canvas!! You try getting hold of the real stuff these days!

A good 'mate' wouldn't go anywhere near the stuff - they too are hard to find as well!

 

95% of the time I can guess the posters location.
Now I hate the fifteen question marks in the subject, like it shows urgency.
Its thier style.

Oh.. and for the record... before I get kicked out for being dumb, I will say in my defense that I do indeed read 2000% more than I post.. so I may be pretty dumb about a lot of stuff... but I'm working hard at it!

I mostly just post to be silly (in the appropriate threads for such silliness) or else when I think I have something of slight tangential value to add... it's really just so you all know I'm here and reading... I don't want you all going around thinkin I forgot about you or somethin'.

Cheers!

we are all here to learn, what we know we share,,,,,,,,longliner

 

Tyvek canvas? Never heard of it.
Tyvek is good sh#t as building paper goes.
Staples don't pull thru it,its pretty tuff and doen't blow off.
Damned pricey tho.....for construction paper...and dont use on a roof.
Bloody dangerous when wet. (Slippery)
