[kj] OT: Where punk started

[jo]

Could've been me.  I reckon that it'll be in next years COD it's a standard expression now, in conversation, isn't it?
I think that the first time I verbally lolled was in at a supermarket checkout.
I always seem to embarass myself at checkouts, the other day, I was rummaging through my bag for some money and hit my Dr Fart machine several times.  Poooooo the assistant visibly considered letting me have the half a dozen eggs and chocolate log and telling me not to come back.
BTW you can get remote control fart machines now.  I've got to have one!  Imagine the hours of fun sneaking it onto friends and families' person and making them embarass themselves at your leisure.

  Didn't someone post here that they accidentally said "LOL" out loud once and was rather embarrassed?

  That made me go "Ha!"

        But if nobody says lol, how is the poster going to know that someone found it funny?

        Look, for God's sake, punk started in the UK. I've been on the Gathering since 1998, and in all that time, punk has always started in the UK.
         
        End this argument now, because it is stupid time-wasting posts like this one I'm writing that get in the way of other people who have much better posts to write, particularly those people who write in saying things like "LOL" and nothing else whatsoever in the very same post.

          How can we know...



            I've been here since the 20th century ('98 or so..cassettes, glowsticks, Dee-Lite,

          raves, etc.) when Gatherers and gathering were over at UBL so I know for a fact these

          kinds of shenanigans and inanity have always (& in all ways) existed here, both read

          and written by everyone here,** and rarely ( as in, rarely) did anyone really object, even

          when it got bad (racism, personal attacks, pro-Bush opinions, etc.)...



          ...and, it's hard (next to impossible,really) to tell when some thread will go off and really

          stray - until way after it's done so, so:

             where can we draw The Line? that is, without intimidating creative and free speech. Hm..

          ..how can we (individually) predict the future quality and future trajectory of a given thread?

          Hm...  I don't know.



          (and no i haven't forgotten that the number of Jokers here has at least tripled since KJ-2003,

          and that more and more people are accessing their internetss on the go thru laptops,

          cellphones, computers at work, Blackberrys, etc.)



            Something I find does work for me is that if i can trust the message titles to be in tune

          with the message, if people properly title their messages and change or add to that title as

          the subject/s of the messages change, then we can all feel confident in deleting [on sight]

          a thread of no interest.

            For example, I personally don't care about the "btats remasters" so i delete entire threads

          of it [no offense to those who do care for btats remasters], and when a title reflects a change

          in subject, that also helps me decide to read or delete.



            Also, and this is a long long shot, maybe if the board can be reformatted to show individual postings in sequential order, would that help? Because recently i've been getting lots of messages hours or even days after someone's posted it, or messages are posted twice (no not just Mel's).



          Anyway, my two cents' worth.



          ** how many frekqin' times do we 

             have to hear who started punk where?

             I rest my case.

            I have to chime in. Quick back n' forth nonsensical stuff like 95% of 
            what's shown up here the past few days here really belong in someplace like 
            IRC or some chat room. I'm all for off-topic posts but after 50+ 
            one-sentence messages in a couple hour's time, it just becomes wasted 
            bandwidth. I get all my mail mirrored on my Blackberry and it's a fucking 
            pain in the ass to have to individually delete hundreds of useless posts 
            that accumulate in just a day's time. And I'm sure I'm not the only 
            subscriber that storing, deleting and sifting through junk e-mail is more 
            than a simple matter of "skip what you don't want to read."

            Think of it as a simple courtesy to your fellow list members.
