The green posters are full of advice today. (Full disclosure I'm only a Poblano, but I'm never on there and I apparently was using the site wrong. I actually read through all of the answers to see if I could offer anything new and didn't post if I couldn't.)
Clearly the points guide meant to show you how to post was lost on you.

I pretty much stopped going once I was a spicy pepper...
but that also coincided with when ML opened up
-
Clearly having reached spicy you were burned out and ready for something new.

I'm not sure I completely agree with that...
I followed the people that I liked in the community. You being one of them.I choose to only spend time on one for any real amount of time.

Ha I guess I did misunderstand the point. I figured it was better not to post anything than to just repeat things. That always bothered me on forums, 100 people posting the exact same thing because they didn't read any responses.

It's extremely time consuming to read all of the responses - sadly you often need to in order to see if there has been any updates from the OP, or movement from the stated desire, etc. but I have been known to throw an answer at a question without reading the entire thread from time to time.

If we go by that standard, I've been in IT 30 years. Wow, I am so underpaid!
I touched my first in 1979.
So, you started in IT the year before I was born!
By the "when I first saw a computer standard", yes.
I ACTUALLY started in 1989 when I got an internship with Eastman Kodak to make a NoSQL database system and graphical front end. Basically a NoSQL variant of Access years before Access was thought up.
I'm sure it worked better than Access too.

Exactly. I would read through to see if the OP posted a response, or if they changed their mind, or if it was discovered they didn't actually need what they said they needed. I always wondered how people had such high points because it was so time consuming.
I've started reading less. From what I've seen anyway, I don't even thing the OP reads through them all.

I tend to, but I also respond to them, which is drastically MORE time consuming and gets you even fewer points.

Rarely.

My posts are all out of whack. It just showed you posted the one about responding to each one and inserted it a couple posts above.
ah looks like the sticky posts at the bottom again.
-
I saw that happen earlier today but it cleared up.

I changed pages and came back, seems to have cleared up.

We have seen that a few times, I don't really know what causes it. it is pretty rare.

Mine will occasionally invert the post order (top -> bottom / bottom -> top) which really screws with your brain early in the morning.

Yeah I see that mainly when people are posting while I'm typing something... when I hit submit, my post goes at the bottom, then I refresh and moves to the correct time based slot.
definitely screwy -
Damn, monday... you waited all day to f@ck me. Get to the truck, passenger side mirror is broken off. Stop off for a pint, get a text from a girl I was supposed to go out with on friday saying "I met someone". I suppose my house will be on fire or flooded when I get home.

@RojoLoco

wow - what a &*&^ couldn't even bother with a phone call..
-
@Dashrender in all fairness, it would have been a first date. Never even talked on the phone. She was fine, too... and a freak. But not the only iron in the fire....
the mirror is actually a bigger loss.
