Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the humorous concept of "thread killers" on a forum, where participants analyze who tends to end conversations with their posts. The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer." Participants debate the validity of counting last posts as a measure of thread-killing ability, arguing that it should be adjusted based on the total number of posts each user has made. The conversation shifts into a light-hearted narrative, likening thread-killing to a horror movie scenario, with participants playfully accusing each other of sabotaging discussions and attempting to "steal" the thread. The banter includes references to fictional scenarios involving dramatic rescues and humorous characterizations, maintaining a light and comedic atmosphere throughout.

As far as irreverence and mindset and suchlike go, yeah. :biggrin:
A lot of the tech stuff still eludes me, though. It took me 2 or 3 days to figure out how to use these bloody quotes, and I still don't know how to post a picture or make a link. (I made a link by accident once, but nobody'll tell me how I did it.) :redface: And I'm still running into new acronyms every few days.
You'll get the tech stuff in time. I'm still learning that myself. As for the links, clip the link to clipboard, press the link button. The first screen is the title you want for the link. The second screen is where you paste the link.

Of course, now that you know the secret, I have to kill you. :cool:

Her daytime schedule seems to be that she strikes about 15 minutes before I have to go to work, so you should have about 1:45. :biggrin:

So, is it about time for you to be heading to work yet? :smile:

You're trying to plot my activity patterns? Ha ha ha! Good luck! I can't even keep track of myself. You're right, I do pop in and out a lot. It all depends on how many meetings people schedule for me in a day or when I'm in the lab vs chained to a desk or working from home. While most of the time it's great to not have a fixed schedule, some days I really crave having such a schedule so I know exactly where I'm supposed to be when and can plan for more fun time.

If I keep up at this pace, I think exhaustion will do it for you. :frown:

I thought that it should be something semi-complicated like that, so I didn't even try. All I did was type in the address to show someone where it was, and it came up as a link. :confused:

As long as you don't uncheck any boxes in your settings to tell it to do differently, it automatically turns addy's into links. Artman is talking about how to make a link with text instead of a link with an address showing, like this.

Hey, what the...?! Every time I click that thing I end up back at the top, and then get back to here, and it sends me to the top again, and I get back here, and... is this a trick?

Thanks for the info, though, really. Now about pictures...

...and I can't read the answer until I get back from work. Your timing, Ms. Bear, is as impeccable as always. Gotta go. :-p

Apparently Danger and Artman are stalking me to plot my activity patterns and PF posting schedule. I'm not sure what purpose it will serve yet...to avoid me or catch me?

Go see the firefox thread. It seems this site and firefox aren't getting along lately. That'll teach you to shun macs! :smile:

Maybe it means humans are an ingredient?

There are some days these would seem very fitting. I'll have to check what they've been posting in politics; maybe PF is reading their moods. :smile:

Well, we can ease your fears. Once you become an accomplished thread-killer, you won't want to leave GD. :biggrin:
Exactly...complete addiction. :bugeye: I would never leave GD to go to, uh...another forum. Those other forums suck canal water. :rolleyes:

:smile: Kinda like the cheesehead hats - I understand it can be used for chips and dip too when flipped over.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could move to the parallel universe of choice? I hope I'm making a lot of money with my spam product so I can go there and retire...

Hey what happened to the PF member height and weight? I was tracking all the guys...looks like I'll have to wait for the calendar. I never weigh myself, so found out I've gained some weight the other day at a doctor's appointment, and then I sat down and felt a draft! :cry:
