One thing I notice is that some people feel the need to quote an entire post to leave a one-line response. I fucking hate that! Quote either a small part relevant to your reply, or take a quick snippet that is representative of the entirety of the post. I don't have a fast connection at home, and I don't need to be downloading each post twice! Plus, the page becomes 2000 pages long, and I have to sit there and try to ignore some parts and read others and... AAAAAAAAGFGGHGGHGHHG.

I'll be thanking you to cease that.

This came up some months back when RenegadeSnark would do the same thing. I made the same complaint in some thread (I don't remember which) and the response to that was a huge post with the entirety of my post quited 5 times. Don't bother trying to find and ogle that monster post. If you do try, search for "*snip* -cr0bar" >:>

It's just the little things like this that highlight the true lam0rs.

Yes, but sometimes it needs reiterating.

Besides, your rant was aboot quoting people directly above you, which I disagree with. With the number of people frequently posting to this forum, it's quite possible that somebody could slip in a post before you hit the submit button.

Out of curiosity, how many people are posting here with regular frequency? And, where the hell did Michael go? I guess somebody could quit at anytime if they want.

My name is BJ, and I'm a detnet forum junkie.

..what is that i hear....could it be.....BITCHING......

Im sure the html it takes to rewrite the previous post is wreaking havoc on your modem. If say someone posted a HUGE FUCKING PICTURE it would be different but ITS FUCKING TEXT, ASCII FUCKING TEXT. I CANT BELIEVE SOMEONE IS BITCHING ABOUT AN EXTRA 15 LINES OF GODDAMNED ASCII FUCKING TEXT. I didnt realize there was a goddamn license required to post on fucking detnet. ITS A PUBLIC FUCKING MESSAGE BOARD.

Deal with it.

JESUS FUCK
