Of course, feel free to completely ignore this thread, then start another one with pretty much the same subject matter, to which everyone will then post...

I got bored before the end of the title. What's this thread about?

I really hate it when you make a post to a thread, which everyone completely ignores, and then a dozen posts later someone posts pretty much the same thing, only this time everyone enthusiastically agrees or violently disagrees and a lively argument ensues. Annoying, isn't it?

I think we've already done this...

"pretty much" is in the eye of the beholder.

It can be yeah, we could surely judge this better if we knew which thread you meant though!

\"I think we\'ve already done this...\"

Ah, that death knell to many a fine upstanding thread that was too young to die...

It means you're ahead of your time.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 22 April 2004 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

no, it means your timing was off.

now I was going to say that dammit, my timing was off.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 22 April 2004 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Is MY timing off?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 22 April 2004 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Yep, Matt's said it all. Lock this thread now.

― winterland, Thursday, 22 April 2004 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually that was me (do you SEE etc etc)

― Matt (Matt), Thursday, 22 April 2004 12:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but what really bugs me is when I post something and later on in the thread, someone else says the SAME THING and that's when the debate kicks off.

Do you think it's my timing?

― Matt (Matt), Thursday, 22 April 2004 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone's been dissing MY timing, and they're STILL HERE!

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 22 April 2004 12:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Matt OTM.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 22 April 2004 13:01 (twenty-two years ago)

(and so, Mark on the mat.)

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 22 April 2004 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Or what's worse, is when you post something, and then later someone posts the same thing and - oh I'm bored already...

― dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 22 April 2004 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark: do you like Hitler?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 April 2004 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Never heard of him...

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 22 April 2004 13:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I like his early stuff.

― hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 22 April 2004 13:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Before the difficult second war.

He was great in the first one. He also did know how to put on a show and has cornered the market in nose-width moustaches.

― hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 22 April 2004 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

YOU LIKE ME! YOU REALLY LIKE ME!

― Hitler (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

one particular poster is very much guilty of posting the same thing as someone upthread, but i suspect that's due to egomania rather than a lack of reading comprehension skills

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Ooh - is it me?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

If it's who I suspect, it's probably just a lack of time to read entire threads rather than either explanation, which I can sort of sympathise with (though it drive me crazy when this poster does it).

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

"you're so vain, you probably think that post was about you..."
