You post-count padding maniacs!

 

I'm fairly new to this forum posting lark so , what is post-count padding ?

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,807]

It's the posting of short, inane, content-poor postings like "Cool!" and "Umm-hmm" and "+1", etc. for the main porpoise of increasing your post count.

[Temmu 1,931]

good point, eric.

+1

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,807]

Exactly.

[therock247uk 68]

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,807]

I raised a point. Blast me! I'll try to refrain from doing that in the future.

[Temmu 1,931]

+1, eric - your posts increment, not decrement...

(appologies, i made a useful comment in this thread.)

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,807]

They decrement occasionally... when I delete them.

Ta muchly.

[Temmu 1,931]

ps

thx, eric, for the porpoise reference.

 

would you like to know =why= i use porpoise instead of purpose?

adam (possibly) knows the answer from his work...

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,807]

Umm... actually, I didn't do the porpoise thing with you in mind. The use of that word as a substitute for "purpose" is something I've done since I was a child. My mom always thought it was funny... me too.

 

So, why did you use that reference?

[Temmu 1,931]

navy training manuals state on page one "for training purposes only"

substituting that with porpoises brought great pleasure to most of us going through any class.

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,807]

HAHA! That is a good one! Besides, I'm pretty sure porpoises are easier to train than squids.

[Temmu 1,931]

squids indeed. i was not in that branch, but attended many of their schools...
