Stop posting! Aaaaargh!

[Liar]

Good morning.

I just logged in to see if anyone had replied to some posts that I wrote last night. Guess what? I can't find them. They are buyried somewhere behind five or sik pages of subsequent posts, and if there was any replies, the cnversation has since long been morphed into something else. So with the goddamn tempo you seem to have in here sometimes, I'm doomed to be reduced to a one liner poster, who can't ever engage in any real dialouge here.

How the hell do you guys keep up?! Should I go talk to my local pusher about a continuous speed supply?

Have you tried clicking on your own profile and then doing the "see all posts" option? That would let you find your own most recently posted threads and then look for the responses.

Yep, but it still would look kind of odd to reply to a post when a hundred or so other posts have already debated it into the ground.

Which can happen here now and then.

YES

This board gets more like the GB every day.

Perhaps if we had a separate forum for US political wrangles there would be more room on here for everyone who is, for whatever reason, uninterested in Washington shenanigans.

Ok, for the record, this was not intended to be a the-AH-is-turning-into-the-GB-where-are-all-the-writerly-threads kind of thread.
It is a Liar-is-slow-and-wanted-the-world-to-know thread.

But do wif it wut ya feel like.

Sorry, hon, I can't stop posting Aaaaargh! now. You've got me addicted.

Liar, just go to the button at the top of the box that says, Go to First Unread Post.

Well, you do get to the point rather quickly.

 

[Guest]

Some of us can multi-task and post to fifteen threads simultaneously. You need to brush up on your technique, Liar.

(I know what you mean, though, must've been a posting frenzy here last night. It's all good!)

Shouldn't you be off finishing a story?

Even worse, I should be off finishing an article. Work. Deadline today. Only half done.

And here I am.

It seems I need to get the whip out...

What's happened to CV? He keeps deleting everything before I can read it.

Liar: Just quote the answer to your post in your reply. Joe does it nearly all the time, specially when the horsey, carson et al jump in, in between.

writerly threads eh? those were the days.

Down horsey, down.

Oh, then you must have missed my brilliant post for Mannequine about "Harry the fuck-up" or "I shall have to snuff the bitch"?

No biggie: it wasn't that funny.

 

[cantdog]

Liar, I rather think gauche has hit the proverbial nail. On the head, you know, if you follow me.

You must quote the post to which you are providing an answer, to remind people what conversation you're in. Every thread winds up with three or four simultaneous convos at once, and it's the only way to keep anything straight.

He said, not quoting the thing himself...

[Pure]

I just had that experience too, liar, and I'd add that the problem is complicated by the additional pages often being lots of backslapping and witty repartee unrelated to the topic.

Well, I sometimes kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

If you have an email it routes a reply to your post...once there are a number of posts, it stops, tho.

It does get nutty after awhile. You could spend hours and hours just reading everyone's posts before you could even reply and then it gets even more confusing...

Uh, wow!!!! Thanks honey!!!!

Did I mention funny? Did I say I wanted to read your posts?

 

[Guest]

Don't tell me there is yet another Aus angle, here!

That one down under is a trouble!

gauche: Poo. Poo.

Guess I think of it as a group of people in a conversation... sometimes the conversation doesn't keep to the topic. it wanders and that's what makes conversations great. Maybe threads are different.

And that's what makes it so annoying to try to get back on topic when the conversation has wandered to hell and high waters. It's not the finding of posts or the noble art of quoting that is the problem. I've got a black belt in quoting. It's the running like mad to catch up with the rest of the conversation that is the real bitch.
