Uh, you guys realize you sound like "atypical" *insert appropriate gender here* types with this "...mine is bigger than yours!!...." ??? :P Geez, you all are super-spammers, ok? Feel better?? Sheesh. ;) Now I know why I don't post much. :rolleyes: -------------------- "Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline! If you are obsessive/complusive, please press "1" repeatedly. If you are co-dependant, please ask someone to press "2". If you have multiple selves, press "3", "4", "5", and "6". If you are schitzophrenic, listen carefully and a voice will tell you which button to press. If you are manic depressive, it doesn't matter which button you press. No one will answer. If you are paranoid, we know who you are. Just stay on the line. Thank you for calling the Psychiatric Hotline!! Posts: 104 | Registered: Friday, April 19 2002 07:00 |

Remember, it's only spam if no one finds it of any value. For instance, by defining spam so narrowly, this post might actually be of value to someone, thus removing from it the moniker of spam. *this message is part of an ongoing series of advertisements by Hormel* Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I think about spamming. I click the post reply button, I write the spam, then I spend ten minutes debating myself whether to put it up or not. More often then not it gets deleted. Thus my post count sufferes, but I get to keep my warm fuzzies.

I don't really spam, any more. Well, I don't think I do. I didn't notice it back then and if I still do it, I don't notice it, now. I don't know what my most posts in a day was. Probably about 15-20. I could manage more, but then again, I also like having a life outside of an internet forum... Basically, while I could spend a couple of hours to set a new post-per-day record, that won't be beaten, quickly, I'll merely settle for helping Alo in his attempt. :P -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

It's a working definition, though... of course there are plenty of spammers who don't realize they're annoying, or don't understand how they're being annoying, or do understand but don't intend to change anything... *sigh* And now for something completely different: Where is TM, anyway? -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

TM will be back Saturday. Until then, we can only look forward with antcipation. My spam is not usually though about. It only gets deleted if it was really dumb, which it kind of is sometimes anyway. Well, here we go again. :/ -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

A more common expansion of spam is "Short, pointless annoying message". But then again, nothing's really definitive as they're all made up off the top of someone's head. I make it about 16 hours after he's been unbanned and not one sight of TM, though...

The expletive to which you refer is derived from Old English. The word "transit" first appeared in Middle English. So obviously the acronym can't be the real etymology. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |
