No Late Additions ...
No. I actually did that, but then realized that if anyone had already read my earlier post and then moved down the line, they wouldn't see my edit. I've learned not to make any additions to one's post any more than a few minutes after the original post. The two posts you referred to were two separate thoughts about thirty minutes apart, plenty of time for someone to read and move on. This is especially important if one is involved in a heated debate with lots of Forum members online at the time. Important information (not relevant here) can then be overlooked.

Who Backs Up On The Forum ...
Everything, either relevant, or irrelevant would have been missed by those online in the intervening thirty minutes. In this specific case of attempting a quip, nothing important. But once the first post was read by a member, that member would not see (unless one backed up) my additional unimportant information.

Lots Of Choices ...
Quote:
I'm grateful that the moderators seem to allow me some latitude, but you may still want to try complaining to them, or became a moderator, or don't bother to read any of my posts, or skim over my posts looking for information that you deem important, or just block me and put yourself out of your misery. As far as I know, nobody's holding a gun to your head forcing you to read all my posts, or everything in all my posts.

Slow Down ...
But it may slow me down. I do read everybody's posts. And such posts may not be posted in vain. I do occasionally need a friendly (or not so friendly) reminder to back off a little (or a lot).
It's all about checks and balances. Without checks there wouldn't be balance. You may think that I'm not paying attention, but I actually am. In many cases I'm having some fun, but in some cases I actually have new thoughts several minutes after my original thought thus requiring a new post, because members don't usually back up on the Forum, and my new thoughts would go unread by those online in the intervening minutes. In other cases I may want to intentionally separate two related thoughts into two different posts to make the ideas easier to understand, and thus, easier to respond to (see commuting miles versus business expense miles, two separate, but related, tax issues, thus two different posts): https://forum.officiating.com/basket...ml#post1027108

With all due respect....
Billy, your methodology may be self-defeating. When I see you replying to yourself or your string-of-posts, I often say to myself, "Oh, it's Billy, talking to himself again," and skip them. If others react similarly, your teaching efforts may be wasted, for both "the young 'uns" and us old-timers alike.
And because you often post long sequences when you have new thoughts, maybe you should think things through more thoroughly before posting. |

Pulp Fiction On The Forum ...
Quote:
I'm Irish, I love to talk, which in the realm of the Forum means that I love to post. You should have seen me before I gave up all caffeine and was put on Xanax. Pulp Fiction (1994), Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) meets Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and she asks him, “When in conversation, do you listen, or do you just wait to talk?” Vincent thinks about it and then responds, “I wait to talk, but I’m trying to listen.” Note: Who doesn't think that Uma Thurman was red hot in this movie?

Actually just read through this thread for the first time a few minutes ago. After seeing that first off-topic post, I skipped over ALL of Billy's posts. |
