Well I'm sick and tired of watching my threads fall into oblivion. Sometimes when it does get a few replies I sneak a filler post with justification of having something smart to say while in reality it's a pathetic excuse to bump it and squeeze a few more followups...... and then it's dead for good. Even this thread is some kind of an experiment to see how many replies will it get.... wow what a mid fuck!
Please teach me the art of a good thread starter. I will be eternally grateful.
A good thread or a long thread?? For the most part a good thread is, almost by definition, a short lived thing; If it is a thread passing on/sharing info then it will run its course fairly quickly; if its a dabte on something, after all parties have viewed their opinions there is not much left to be said....

Make it easy to read and not overly long. Don't bother posting youtube links (a big turn off in my opinion) and write properly, ie no text shorthand versions of words like LOL or ROFL (another turn off)....
Like I'm some kind of expert anyway.....
When I was in America a guy told me to 'have a nice day' but I didn't, so I sued him

What is a good thread, a better thread? Who knows?
I'd like to think that I waste neither time nor effort; that I posted something of interest to myself, if not to others.
Yes, I'm odd in that respect.
“Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. . . . What is needed to stop the trend towards socialism and despotism is common sense and moral courage.” Ludwig von Mises
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Hoss and Tex were arguing over whose turn it was to use the internet. When suddenly, in stormed Miss Daisy-Jane, from the Swingin' O Ranch, all of a flutter, her long, auburn hair a tussled mess. She cried out...
"I need peanuts"...
