I wonder what would happen to that ratio if we took out the high post-count threads that were statistical outliers (ie-AC's Bar and Grrrrril, the various Dark Flame threads et al) that drive up that average. Would the average SYM thread still be longer than the average BG2 thread?

What have you done to craig's thread?!

We put it to good use, of course.

Exactly. If a thread in unintelligeble, spam it.

...and if a thread is intelligible and doesn't have "no spam" in the title, spam it as well. If it does say "no spam", spam carefully, unless it's in reply to a 1000-word CE or fable essay

Well of course....I dont even understand what you two have been talking about. Maybe its best that I dont understand....Of course, I only skimmed the posts, because I really didnt think I was missing much. (Not that CE's or Kam's posts are not worth reading, but in this thread and having a GENERAL idea of what you 2 were talking about caused me to pass on the subject)

I'm hurt, T - you didn't read our magna op...(help! What's the ending? Is it 3rd or 4th declension neuter? Will I be laughed at if I can't remember how to decline opus? Will this get to my Latin tutor at University? *deep breath* No, it's OK, it's a plural noun, opus is fine. Phew

)???

So anyway, I'm hurt.

And now you know the difficulties I face every day in Latin classes...

Sorry Kam.

Latin was supposedly the easiest alternate language class you could take in our school, of course, I didnt bloody listen.

I took Spanish instead. BAH!

And even them, spam a little in the end of your reply to me and Fable

@Tyb: My and Kam's discussion was hardly of global importance, so you didn't miss much

@CE, not of global importance?! This has far-reaching consequences! It has kept someone on the other side of the planet amused for a few minutes after waking up on a saturday morning!

It has vital consequences!

@Kam, if you want some sunshine, we've got lots here. It's supposed to be winter, but we have lots of sunshine.

And congrats to 500 posts, btw!

You still beat Oki, probably the all time lurker of GB!

In which case, are you suggesting one should not spam, or spam more than usual?

Truly a testament to our spamming ways...

In that case, just go to a bar and have a long drink

I'm a SLURR through and through

*attempts to get photographic evidence of a genuine Oki sighting...drops camera into Bottomless Pit of Lurking...sighs*

@Kam, I am surprised at you

. An Oxford man, reduced to spam. It is tragic.

(help! What's the ending? Is it 3rd or 4th declension neuter? Will I be laughed at if I can't remember how to decline opus? Will this get to my Latin tutor at University? *deep breath* No, it's OK, it's a plural noun, opus is fine. Phew )???

*slaps Kam, slaps him again, punches him in stomach, headbutts and slaps once more* Snap out of it!
