Getting the real information out of foot2foot replies..
Lately?, a trend has been for certain posters to follow up an
informational post (of any kind really, but also ones that I have made) with mostly non informational small talk, laughing at each other's jokes, and so on. After a while the replies to the thread get to be so many with little actual value, that it's hard to find the replies with further information in them. Not that it's bad, it's just what they do, but for readers who really want information, it's problematic. That's easy to fix. From now on, for the most part, I'll only reply to replies to *informational posts* that I initiate, that have actual information, and not to any with useless small talk and laughing at each other's jokes. And I will be sure to reply to posts in reply to mine that are informational. I may continue to respond to some of the small talk threads as well. So, all you need to do is just read my ski technique information posts, and only read *my* replies (which will include some of the other replies, and if you want you can go back and read that *particular* reply in total) and the replies I make to replies to my posts. In this way you can bypass wasted time reading all this useless stuff that crops up. At the same time you'll begin to learn certain posters that you can just ignore. That will also make things easier. Just read my ski technique posts, and only my replies to replies, problem solved!! You can start your ignore list with (most of ) the people that are going to respond to this posts. |

Hey, how does foot2foot change a lightbulb? He just grabs ahold of it and the entire world revolves around him. Couldn't he just attach it to an SUV and wait for it to spontaneously roll over? Thank you, you've been a great crowd, really. Give yourselves a hand. That's right. I'll be here all week, folks. Thanks again and good night.

Will you just shout louder and louder and dredge up dodgy statiustics to backup your assertions ? I may continue to respond to some of the small talk threads as well. How gracious of you. |

Couldn't he just attach it to an SUV and wait for it to spontaneously roll over? He's just mad because he couldn't figure out how to drive an SUV properly. Needless to say, it ended up "revolving" around him. Ba dump Bump! Thank you, you've been a great crowd, really. Give yourselves a hand. That's right. I'll be here all week, folks.
