    Well said Mr Burns sir.

      Does it?

        Sums up my feelings perfectly.

        Nothing better than annoying the dogs.

          Meta-spam is not your only forte, I see. Masterfully done.
          I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

            • I hereby most forcibly deny that Tehben is my DL. I'd never register a DL under a username I can't spell.
              Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

                I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                  Yes. An 'own goal' statement can only be done on a question. At least in CG terminology. Polytubbies have used it in other regards, however.

                  • I guess own goal is incorrect then. Perhaps irony is more correct?

                      • It just occured to me that something that might scare newbs away is the amount of private language here. Partly it's the various civ-related terms and expressions, but chiefly the wanton jargonism of A/C and OT. We'll have to start offering courses in Apolytonian soon ...

                        • Lurking for even a short while should let you pick up on most of these terms.

                              • The posts claiming this has become a spamfest miss a fundamental feature of a lively BB experience. Legitimate discussions will always generate boomlets that seem tangential to some. The posting experience, which probably is the basis for retaining new members, requires one to overcome the inertia and jump in.

                                This isn't a "boomlet." It replaced the legitimate discussion.
                                Interesting justification of spam, though.
