I modified a strategy often used to curb buying on impulse and getting tattoos: waiting a set period of time before replying to posts!!

I lunged into a thread about some ESPN something or other, typed a reply, then waited approximately 10 seconds. In this time, I read my post over and over, which gave me time to realize that no one would find my post amusing, informational, or even read it in the first place! AMAZING!!!

My hypothesis is that if many people use this strategy before posting, ATOT will be a more functional and intelligent-sounding place. Sure, its not foolproof. But its better than nothing, aye?
I figured I owed this post to ATOT after all the damage I caused on my own.

:beer: here's to less stupidity!
 
I do that a lot... Probably half of my posts never see the light of day, because before I hit post, I think about it, and most of the time I just end up hitting the back button instead.

Same here. If I posted every time I felt the urge I'd be right behind Skoorb in post count. 🙂

I usually only post if: 1) I have something informative to add to the post, 2) A previous poster's idiocy is too much to bear and I need to lay the smack down -- which happens WAY too often at ATOT.

If pictures of my c*ck are that important to you, do what I said. Its not that fvcking complicated. Go. Register. Its free and takes way less time than stalking me around asking me for pics of my sh!t. Im not risking exposing some 12yr old snot to pornograpy that mommy and daddy sue me for.


Are there any concerns I failed to address?

lol like I thought.
 
It's true with anything. I think about how great it would be to be playing an XBOX game about 10 feet over from here... and by the time I get to it (after posting) ... it doesn't seem so great anymore.

but that had meaning... to you anyways... i think
but since you are not a n00b, and obviously have the bragging rights to say you sit on here WAY more then I do, this obviously means you are correct, which is generally accepted theory thruout ATOT. Did you ever think to listen to the people that DONT live on their computer? Maybe they can teach you something. Like going outside.

THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE THREAD. This is cow standard flaming procedure for the word n00b. see manual pp 134-146, chapter entitled "Judo defense against e-penis"

Wierd, I think you got the wrong page numbers, because it says here that pp 134-146 are entitled "How to Remove Head From Own Rear End" and there is a disturbing pic of...you...😕
