And yet again excellent posts are dropping because people cannot confine

[ScreamingMeemie]

their comments on Bush's speech to one or two threads. Each expression of anger has to be given its own thread...to which no one or one or two will reply...sigh...

Sorry, I'm crabby today, and I hate seeing well thought out posts drop. :( Oh, here...Bush is an ass! Now it's worthwhile. ;)

1. Sorry. I did two of them.

4. No need to apologize. I'm just letting off steam. Plus, I like threads

that start with bumbling. ;) Your's weren't what I am grumbly over. I get grumbly over 5 word, uncapitalized sentences that could have been put in the Bush speech thread.

Lone Star Dem had an excellent thread the other night that got only 3 replies and not much exposure because of spammers. Same person/10 threads.

Hi Redstone!

2. You are right, but for many of us we just can't contain our outrage. Mods

go ahead and combine the threads or remove mine. I just needed to make the comments or explode!

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. It's okay. Like I said, I'm crabby today.

A couple of people just had some really great posts that dumped to page 3 in less than an hour. :hi:

[maddezmom]

17. I just made one, too

:hide:

[seaglass]

3. Do you see the irony in creating a thread to say this?

Everyone else thinks what they have to say is important too.

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. Just for you...I'll make it worthwhile, with the links to several threads

that have dropped in the past several days. :hi:

[greenbriar]

6. just go bump up the threads

jeez


watching the bush bumbling tour is so much funner~

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Bush doesn't exist in the Grumpy household when the kids are home.

Jeez. :hi:

Reading well thought out posts is much more fun and educational to me. I already know Mr Bush is a fool. ;)

[seaglass]

8. It happens ALL the time. When something big happens

50 people want their own threads (I don't like it either).

I understand your reason for posting this was to try to stop it, just saying it's kind of funny that you had to do what you object to to accomplish it.:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Heh. I made it more worthy by posting adding three awesome threads

to my OP. ;) I freely admit I'm being a crank today. :hi:

[seaglass]

14. Yep, I'm cranky too. I woke up too early and was trying to get

a 1/2 hour nap when this doofus came on my TV and now my blood pressure has soared. :-)

[Stephanie]

10. lol!

you beat me to it!

:rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Note...I did not post 15 threads in the last half hour on the subject.

;)

[K-W]

16. What Irony?

This is not the type of thread the OP is complaining about.

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. I don't get that either...One thread is ironic?

O---kay. :hi:

[seaglass]

24. Ironic may not have been the best word. You created a thread

complaining about other people creating threads because the result was that threads you thought were important were dropping. By creating this thread you also made the "important" threads drop. So you were a participant in the threads dropping too. That's all.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. One thread is but a pebble.

[K-W]

26. The complaint is not that people created threads, but duplicate threads.

This is not a duplicate thread, so your point doesnt really stand.

[seaglass]

27. The complaint was made because of what the result was

- good threads dropping. This thread did the same thing. My point stands.

[Mutley]

13. Which is why I will kick my own thread

shamelessly until this press conference is over. :7

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. mutley!!! I am on my way to respond to it right now!

It's good to see you around!

[Mutley]

19. Thanks! It's good to see you, too.

:D

[Marnieworld]

18. kicked and rec'd

I kicked all the other threads too. Are you happy now?

Now I have to go back to all of those posts about the press conference. ;)

[Sugar Smack]

20. Kick!

;)

[pitohui]

21. just like this thread EOM

.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Thanks for kicking a worthwhile thread, pitohui! EOM

[NoPasaran]

28. Bush had a press conference?

What was he lying about today?

[frustrated_lefty]

29. kick

[sendero]

30. This is why..

... I rarely open new threads. There's rarely a need to :)

[MazeRat7]

31. A case of "Me too... me too"... everybody wants to be first.

I agree it would really help if existing threads were used.... besides... the "post" count will still only increment by +1.. there are no extra point for being "first" *grin
