@Gwally:

Not that I'm presuming to answer for his Sleepiness, but I think it's safe to say that the Spamming/Lurking threshold lies somewhere in between Sleep's 15.91 posts per day and my 1.78 posts per day. :D

lol! No, lady druid. I think you miss the point (no doubt the Alzheimer's flaring up there). The visual aid is for you... and certainly no glasses will be required. :p :D

Nah...then the conversation would continue along its boring path, and we cant let that happen can we? :D

@Gwally Hmmm....good point about SPAMming vs lurking post count. I seem to be at 15.69 PPD. Thats in between the margins given. Do I qualify for being a lurker? :D ;)

Agreed and well met! A magnifying monacle in order to make comparisions with other males, a Hoyer lift to set your jaw up off the floor, a bottle of excellent Shiraz, and the rest of the evening to ourselves. A decidedly win-win situation. ;) :D

Indeed! A magnifying monacle is a useful aid to spotting flaws in male...egos ;) The Shiraz is a great call! as will be the hoist after too many bottles thereof :D Thank you for your kind consideration! ;)

*Surveys the thread with a nice, fat, happy sense of satisfaction*

Well, job done for today! Now, I can return to lurking once more, secure in the knowledge that in SYM, Spam rules supreme, and nothing is as it seems. :D ;)

@DW:

*hug*

They're come along way lately in Alzheimer's reasearch...a cure is in sight. It's ok. :)

@Gwally:

LOL! Well...

Nothing that a few days worth of lurking won't fix. ;) See ya! :D

Sorry, I logged off, I had to be up early this morning and I am already spamming by 9.40 :D - I am okay, I had a few issues with the doc earlier this week, drop me a PM or something and I shall explain further.
I think you were postulating about the general lack of sense that your fingers seem to make when you suddenly pop in a thread and begin denying that you have a sound mind and the uber-powers of a demi-god...mod status or no mod status...and that your mind seems to be screwed though quite frankly I don't see any evidence of this and anyway - what was I really trying to say here? I'm not really sure now.


I didn't say they don't make sense, rather I don't effect their sense making facility. They have a mind of their own and I am not sure whether it is sensible or not, perhaps it is just my imagination but occasionally I wake in the morning with both around my neck, I am sure I am just worrying about nothing...

Who knows what is being said, either way, it ain't lurking conversation ;)
What's the official cut-off SPD between lurkers and spammers?


I presume that the official cut off is dependant to some degree on the length of time since registering and the actual time spent spamming, some members only started spamming after 5 months or so of being registered, others started straight away, so I would say the cut off point was about 5.50 SPD ;)
All times are UTC-06:00
