You used one of Abe Simpson's best lines!
It is an odometer thing and I bought it with me from my other site. I had also thought about stopping at 1000 and I pretty much have. I'm fading out here. I used to write several volumes to an encyclopedia (probably because I had a lot on my mind... you think?). I don't post as much because I'm kind of bored with being online and pretty much in general. I blame Isabel... days without electricity helps you appreciate the luxury and realize maybe there's something else to do. But then again... I'm still at my computer most of the day (may not be online) basking in the glow of artificial lights! Then again, again, the posts aren't as captivating to me as they used to be. I've thought of leaving but I can't. I'll be here but mute most times. Plus... one-liners can be funny and all that needs to be said.

prepstudinsc: The thread has gotten way off track, not that it matters, but Bliss is just trying to get into the top 25 posts, so he's posting as much as he can to try to stay there.
Some of your posts are just egging him on to post more inane oneliners with no substance.

sammygirly: I think I may be blamed for the instigation here Paul, not you sweety. I have this problem with speaking my mind, and I doubt that's gonna change.
Bliss - I like ya, but you did infer in some of your posts that your latest burst of posting was specifically to get you into the "coveted" top 25. That's what I was reacting to - not your content necessarily. I don't know if I'm reacting to the fact that it's become that lofty goal to reach or whether I'm just tired of reading one liner, back and forth conversations constantly on a discussion board.
IM is for back and forth, get-to-know-ya conversations in my opinion and I'm bound to comment on it every time. That's just me - as with us all, read it or not. Share my opinion or not.
I don't make the rules, I just state my opinion (and oftentimes the opinion of other, not so loudmouthed members ;D ).

gigantikok: In all honesty, Sammy, I have no problem with you speaking your mind. I applaud it. If you read my posts, I list very many times that people are entitled to their opinions. I think whenever you express them, for the most part you are curteous and thoughtful about it. What I have problems with are people posting their opinions without tact or consideration for other people's feelings. Sorry, but the fight really broke out when I was personally called a "little shit", something that was completely unnessecary. Before then, I was hardly trying to fight with anyone. I was merely expressing my opinion, I REPEAT, I was merely expressing my opinion. Not my fault if a certain person took that as a personal attack.
And by the way, my comment about being pissy and thinking "OOoo, I hate those one liners" was actually not directed to you (and I could see how you think it would be). I know you have distaste towards one lined comments used simply to boost count, but you are always tactful about it. I was referring to other members. You are tactful and considerate, Sammy, and that is why I've really grown to appriciate you. Wish I could say that same for others.

Just for the record, Gig: you save a lot of keystrokes typing "Dee" instead of "others" or "a certain person." Tryin' to help you out, bud!
awellhungboi: You sure know how to throw a party, Paul! So what was in that champagne, anyway?
da_blissmachine: escuse me did I ever say that I was doing this just to boost my post count? I admit, I wanted to do this but this prompted me to comment on things I could rather than just reading and keeping my comments to myself. Believe me, If I just wanted to increase my post I could post 300 posts that read jsakgwa;hgwihgowigh. I post short posts because I believe in only using the words necessary. I have been posting more because I've had more time to come, and the posts have begun to interest me more.
Personally, I think we are all getting a little immature on this topic "so-and-so doesnt post enough," "_____ is posting for the wrong reason", bitch bitch bitch

Well, but you sorta implied that you are posting to get into the top 25. Not to create conflict here, but this is exactly what you wrote:
[quote author=da_blissmachine link=board=meetgreet;num=1065665315;start=0#19 date=10/12/03 at 18:03:21]ah yes..... 1000 posts... either extreme dedication or extreme lack of a life
I'm working on getting up to the top 25 right now[/quote]

da_blissmachine: yes, but others are implying that I am clogging up the board with crap merely for my own glorification....
whats wrong with wanting to be on the top 25? As long as it prompts good discussion competition is healthy

Well, actually, Bliss, you did say that in an earlier post.
Saying that you wanted to get into the top 25 and then posting a bunch of posts all of a sudden kind of gives the impression that you are posting just to increase your count.
What's the big deal about being in the top 25. It's not like we get rewards for being there.

sammygirly: Well exactly prep....so what?
It's not a competition. In fact, if you want my Top 25 spot - I'll gladly give it to you. Mark can we swing that? Trade post counts?

AnonyMs: Just for the record... if/when I break the 1000 post barrier, I want it treated just like my birthday... no muss, no fuss... just another day... no big deal.
To quote Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"
da_bliss is young - he is in love - perhaps getting into the top 25 is a way to appear more desirable in the eyes of his beloved... although I am surprised someone so recently engaged has time to post a lot! Unless she is in another town - that might explain it. (There was a lot of my tongue in my cheek in this last paragraph you know.)
Monstro's words on the one liner being a way for someone to dip their toe in the water or if in response to a post to act as a Sally Field moment ("They like me, they really really like me") is wise.
For Finedessert/Grandpa/Bob, this board acted as his community when he could no longer be as active in his community as he once was. I am sure for others, this board functions as the same regardless of their abilities.
We have such a one dimensional view of people through this medium. We do not know their physical capabilities. We are all wounded people, simply trying to do the best we can at any given moment. Sometimes we make poor choices. Sometimes we act in regrettably stupid ways. Sometimes we show our immaturity. Sometimes we show our strength and our wisdom.
An effective phrase I have learned when I am in a discussion with someone who is being bull-headed and not hearing my point of view is to say, "You may be right." Hard to argue with someone who says you may be right.
So to everyone:
YOU MAY BE RIGHT!

Thank you, Nony, but as a male I can tell you that we hear (when you say You may be right)
"You are not only right, you are intelligent, insightful, wise and a great lover."
As for the posting habits of the hairy-bellied woodpecker, we've all found this place either through necessity or curiosity and if we've stayed it's because of the community.
You're right about the various reasons many of us post more than others. Finedessert (our late resident humorist and beloved friend) sought out our company and brightened our lives in return. Some of us are not as socially gifted as others and this medium is perfect for them. Others, like myself, are handicapped, and, like you wisely stated, are limited to the computer, the TV and the telephone for contact with the outside world most every day.
I know we aren't all Christian but think on the following.
"If you do it to the least of these, you do it unto me."
