annoying message posts

berrydingle · January 18, 2003 1:42AM

Could you people try and avoid cutting and pasteing comments from other posts
thanks

It has become an overwhelming annoyance to read a topic and see constant repeats
from other comments within the same thread, come on folks we all can read it. ONCE

<< Could you people try and avoid cutting and pasteing comments from other posts

I'll try.

Sorry, I couldn't resist

ara · January 18, 2003 1:49AM

I don't think they are meant to be reposted to be re-read but rather to infer reference as to what the post is specifically answering.

Barry · January 18, 2003 1:53AM

In a thread with many responses, it is often helpful to provide a clue to what exactly the response is commenting.

Placid · January 18, 2003 1:53AM

I don't use copy and paste. I use the quote function.

clw54 · January 18, 2003 1:57AM

Can't we just have one pet peeve thread?

ClarkOfKent · January 18, 2003 2:27AM

<< Could you people try and avoid cutting and pasteing comments from other posts >>

No.

I won't make any effort to make my posts comply with your wishes. I absolutely refuse. If I quote something from someone else's post, it's for a reason... usually, so others will know specifically what I'm responding to. You don't have to like it anymore than I like having posts that interest me pushed to the bottom of the page by posts like yours.
When the top of my page says, "berrydingle's message boards", then you can dictate the contents of my posts.

BTW, to make the quote I copy and paste. Cutting text from a document removes it, which can't be done to someone else's post.

RotatedRainbows · January 18, 2003 2:36AM

It is usually only a sentence or two taken from a paragraph to address a specific question or comment, in the past there has been confusion when someone makes a comment and people don't understand what he is trying to say. Quoting ensures people know which specific statement the poster is referring too.

Rampage · January 18, 2003 2:54AM

Sounds to me like BerryDingle made Clark mad.

MacCoin · January 18, 2003 3:03AM

if you don't like what you see in any post you just hit that back arrow at the top of you brower. no one will mind if you do or don't read it.

Now, now everyone, let's not all get bunched up in the underwear here over dingleberry's concern. He's new to the forums so let's give him some room. Some people like me usually write too much and I can see how this can be annoying. But it is essential that some areas of reference are neccesary for clarity and edification.

what he said

ClarkOfKent · January 18, 2003 3:53AM

I couldn't agree more.

Hey, berrydingle. Do you, or anyone else, have any idea what or who I'm in agreement with? Uhhhh.... NO, you don't. There are twelve messages in this post, not counting my first one, that I could be directing my response at. Let me see now.... what would be a good way, maybe even one that's part of the functionality of the board, to indicate what my agreement is in reference to?

<< Sounds to me like BerryDingle made Clark mad. >>

Naw... he didn't make me mad. I don't have to be mad to voice my opinion. It's all good.

<< He's new to the forums so let's give him some room. >>

Then, maybe he should get out now before he starts losing sleep over the << overwhelming annoyance >> of having to read quotes from previous messages.

mbbiker · January 18, 2003 3:53AM

<< Could you people try and avoid cutting and pasteing comments from other posts >>

I would try and stop but i don't know what pasteing is

is it anything like pasting?

coindaughter · January 18, 2003 4:21AM

<< Could you people try and avoid cutting and pasteing comments from other posts >>

no.

beartracks42 · January 18, 2003 4:24AM

<< Could you people try and avoid cutting and pasteing comments from other posts >>

What Clark said!!!!

Twowood · January 18, 2003 4:39AM

The only time I get annoyed is when the whole damn post, all 60 lines of it are cited...a few lines serves as a reference,otherwise I just skip the whole thing. Twowood

cladking · January 18, 2003 7:03AM

I do avoid it as possible and just address my comments to an individual, but
often it is necessary as a reference and helps put your comments in context.
Normally I'll remember the quote and not need to reread it.

Bear · January 18, 2003 8:09AM

All I have to say about that, is this.........All of my posts are annoying,

they even annoy me.

ClarkOfKent · January 18, 2003 8:11AM

Bear,

As usual, you speak only the truth!

Bear · January 18, 2003 8:13AM

Well Im glad at least someone finally agrees with me on something.

ClarkOfKent · January 18, 2003 8:14AM

Bear,

I don't want to seem overly-agreeable, but I had jelly donuts today.

presleyh · January 18, 2003 8:22AM

If everybody was as dense as me this problem wouldn't exsist, I don't know how to cut and paste or any of those other little blocks of stuff on the message thingy. But IF I knew how I would do it all the time just to annoy SOME PEOPLE.

ClarkOfKent · January 18, 2003 8:24AM

presleyh,

If you want to learn how to do that stuff, just speak up. I just loves to read posts with quotes in them!

coindaughter · January 18, 2003 9:28AM

<< If you want to learn how to do that stuff, just speak up. I just loves to read posts with quotes in them! >>

Well here's one just for you, Clark!

laserart · January 18, 2003 9:50AM

wow this thread is hot, I could smell the smoke over on the other forum.
I agree with some of you, you know who you are, or should I specify?

Nope, don't want too.

FatMan · January 18, 2003 10:01AM

Help me.....................where the heck is the "Make this thread go away" button.

JoyofCollecting · January 18, 2003 10:02AM

And what did we learn from this informative post by Dingleberry...urr I mean Berrydingle is:

"Never pass up the opportunity to say nothing."

Ooops...I must not have learned!!

Bear · January 18, 2003 10:03AM

It would help if you could specify specifically,

indevidually in alphabetic order. Who is the problem? what is the problem ? Why is there a problem?

When is the problem? where is the problem? Finally, is there a problem?

cladking · January 18, 2003 10:10AM

<<

Hey all the posts count. Can you say cheat thread?

coinguy1 · January 18, 2003 10:10AM

Bear,

Based on some previous posts of his, I'm thinking that the person who started this thread might be the (only) problem.

JoyofCollecting · January 18, 2003 10:20AM

"Hey all the posts count. Can you say cheat thread? >>

????? I'm confused....happens often. Help me out.

cladking · January 18, 2003 10:25AM

For those of us trying to run up our post totals there are the "cheat threads". Typically
these appear on other forums and can be quite entertaining and grow to great lenght.

Bear · January 18, 2003 10:29AM

I started a multi part story on the Open Forum, even I am excited to find out how it

will end. But I warn you, It is scarey and not to be read without the anticipation of the

dark horror, of things that go forth in the night.

Interesting. Where can I find some of these?

Bear · January 18, 2003 10:40AM

Ahhh, Berrydingle. The fruit that rings like a tiny tinny chime. Of course if we were talking

about a dingleberry, then that would be a rather small series of accretions ,adhering to the posterior of

an animal,most likely of the Canine Family.

ROFL. OK, maybe my answer was a little judgemental and even calling them
"cheat threads" may not be entirely fair. There are some of us who have an
interest in driving up our post count even if it means posting thoughts or dri-
vel which are less than profound. I'm a little surprised that with your seniority
and your obvious proclivity for posting that you haven't run into any of these.
While they tend to be relatively few in number here they do crop up (and stay
up sometimes) on some of the other fine forums which our hosts have gracious-
ly provided for our use. Were I to look for one it might be right here on this very
thread or perhaps on the open or GCD forums. Good luck finding one should
you go to look.

clw54 · January 18, 2003 12:43PM

Much of the evidence is gone now. The cheat threads in the Testing Forum were deleted months ago.

The GCD is admittedly one big cheat forum, but I didn't say that.
