Ah! #3 of your 4 usual responses. I already knew you’d leave your #3. I could make this much more efficient and timely. Give me your forum password and I’ll leave the responses for you.

But, you’re right. I must be extremely bored to take notice of your posts, let alone read them. But, I do appreciate you taking time out of your questionable schedule to reply to me.

Are you STILL thinking (stranger things have happened) about giving me your forum password, region2? Perhaps you need assurance that no one will be able to tell that I’m your proxy-poster (you won’t be missed). As I said, I know your 4 consistent Rick-replies. But, good news – two of them are the same! My error – I was counting “get a life” and “little else going on in your life” as two different Rick-replies. They’re the same, you clever little devil. Now I only need to remember your 3 Rick-replies. That’s a no-brainer (sorry if that sounded like a putdown).

As far as your dealing with new users, that also should be easy. How hard can it be to call them illiterate or tell them to click the “Help” tab (boy, that really sounded like a putdown)? Of course, if they’re illiterate, how will they know what “Help” means? In fact, if they’re illiterate, how will they be able to read “illiterate”?

The following, region2, is what it looks like when you’ve helped someone:

The first one is an example of 'obsequiousness', the second was obviously some sort of R|ck clone - their response being well beyond what my expression of incomprehension of their posting warranted.
I'm sure, if I could be bothered to look, that I'd find a couple of examples of 'Thanks R2' somewhere on the forums. Just remember R|ck - it's easy to impress newbies, it's the old 'uns who have sussed you out and seem to prefer to go elsewhere to be insulted.
So, turn over a new leaf in 2009 and wind your neck in...

I knew you couldn’t leave my posts without a response. You’re SOOOO g.d. predictable. But, then you do LOVE to be, as you once said, “noticed”.

That’s a borderline #3 Rick-reply. Have you forgotten your #1 and #2?

After 2,875 posts, even Hitler might have one, or two, “Thanks”.

Is that why you don’t do it? It’s too easy for you? Isn’t it really easier for you to belittle them? Practice makes perfect!

I see - you’re STILL pining over the lost of your old friends. Are you missing those stimulating conversations with the parrot lady and others about religion, cookies, excessive national pride, and the overuse of pictures? I can see how that would depress you. Do remember, or try to, that the forum isn’t about YOU having a place to hang out with friends. You might want to get yourself a puppy if you’re looking for companionship.

Do look up delusional R|ck - it might ring a few bells.

I won’t. You strayed from you usual 3 Rick-replies (although close to your #2). Congratulations! Didn’t that feel good? The “R|ck” was predictable.

Say, Mr. everything-must-be-prefect, shouldn’t that “]” be a “)”? S-l-o-p-p-y! Please, don’t go back and correct it like you did another time when I pointed out one of your goofs – it makes you look goofy.

So you claim to predict whatever I'm going to say?

Let's start with 'R|ck' - not hard to predict 'cos that's how I spell it these days.

You smell of wee! Did you see that coming or are you just used to people saying it!

It's a shame that AS is your only form of release - I'm sure that I've suggested that you go and get a life (I predict that you will either find posts where I have said that before or you will decline to do so because I suggested it).

Either way your response will be smug and full of self importance - bring it on...

Oh, and don't forget to include a link to AS help in case I cannot find the Help Tab.

I’ve been wondering when you get around to that! Took you long enough!



Here’s a spooky thought – if region2 and I didn’t have I and region2, region2 and I wouldn’t post NEARLY as much. In fact, if it weren’t for region2 and I, I and/or region2 might find something else to do with our time. Of course, region2 could continue to bash new users without I, and, of course, I could continue to be that polite and helpful guy without region2. It just wouldn’t be as much fun for region2 and I without I and region2 (I know that, but region2 doesn’t).

I will (and have) admit that I don’t have that much else to keep me occupied. But, fortunately that doesn’t detract from region2 taking time out of his self-proclaimed busy schedule to keep me entertained.

Please forgive this taking so long. You were right, region2. Trying to find ANY examples of you helping a new user was a MAJOR “bother”. I went back 30 years, and nothing! There was a “You’re a big help”, but seeing that it was followed by a “Bite me, region2”, I suspect the “big help” comment was sarcasm.

Barely two days have gone by, and region2 already misses me:
