He can make up for it in August's pending 10k celebration thread

Seriously, he's a forum bot. Since Vendor's not selling anything, I guess he's hosted by Neal.

is this about *Good* People, or just a this person lived during this year thing? cause Adolf Hitler is in there.

Is that not what I said? You have the right to post anything you like, and I wouldn't want to inhibit that in any way. I merely posted my own opinion, which is that I find it odd that you put up all these links but never seem to actually care about them enough to say something yourself.

Just my opinion.

Also, Vendor often does comment on it after a few posts.

Just my 2 cents

Fair enough. I've been wrong before. It just got to me this time.

Why are you looking at me that way?

Doh! I just realized you're talking about my post count! I never look at it. Now that I have, I realize that almost 10k times I could have done something more productive but decided not to!

As was The Ayatollah Khomeini. The "Person Of The Year" is meant to be the person who had the biggest influence on world events that year, nothing more.

1938 Hitler

I think Steve's point is well taken. There should be more to starting a thread than just <copy paste>. The OP should add something to actually sparks a discussion.

Imagine if we were at a party. I, out of the clear blue, stated "The chief export of Peru is Tin", and nothing else. That is not a good way to start a conversation.

People around me would probably stop talking and stare at me.

So, to the OP, Why did you think this was interesting to post? What are your feelings on this? Are you in favour of this decision, or not in favour of this decision. If you are going to start a thread, you should be willing to start the conversation.

Nah, I dont mind if he's just posting the links. He's like a local subsim newspaper, you read the title of an article and if you like it then you read the rest of the article, there is no summary just a... summary... like.... header under the title.... hmmmmmmm

Sorry Vendor, tried to help but was defeated by my own logic

I understood it. It's like watching a news program that just reports the news (no experts, opinions, etc.), then leaves the viewers to discuss their own thoughts on the subject.

you are arguing with an algorithm. Accept it for what it is. At least these topics posted by Vendor spread the topics out from 'Obama is the evils' threads

I think you should share your thoughts with Neal, and tell them you think that I and my posting is bot-related, (or a bot) and that the Vendor "may" constitute a threat to the forum in the way he acts, send a PM, I think the answer will not be the way you want it.

joegrundman · 12-17-10, 06:07 PM

i don't think you are a threat. Nice to see your grammar has improved
