Take note of 3 and 4, pretty similar. There are plenty of ways to spam, it's like having a picture of a snow flake in a dictionary... you can't say "EVERY" snow flake is going to look like this one.

By the way, the one thing Mikey wants for Christmas, more than anything else in the whole world, is an old fashioned juke box for his bedroom. Little shaver loves music and has been saving quarters in a Chock Full of Nuts coffee tin for two years now. The other much smaller stocking gift he would like is a nice, clean previously used crockpot. His letter to Santa Claus contained a hastily scribbed postscript which said, "Hold the instruction booklet, SC. I can't read".

That is not a criticism - it is the general forum - so you are following the rules. But why? Why would anyone think the forum they choose to spend their time in is better when they dominate the threads with their links and their abstract thoughts?
It is a narcissistic and does not benefit the group.
If 20 people regularly contribute to this forum - it seems that each person's contribution would be more or less be 1/20th.
But GB needs 40-50% of all the flow.
Frankly the GF was better when GB was banned.
That is not personal - I don't know Bobby. Never met him. Seems like a nice enough bloke.
By my opinion is that the GF is better when he is banned.
Start a blog and let us all know the URL. I will follow - at least at the start and as long as you keep it interesting.

"Every one of your threads or posts are about you and things that interest you."
... apply generally to most all frequent and infrequent public forum posters? If not, wouldn't new thread content be limited to me-too tripe, criticisms of others, petty rants and trivial news of the day?
Thanks for weighing in, for contributing an objective probe and for generating more light than heat. By the way, I enjoyed our recent chess game much more than you probably know. gb

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyBobby I enjoyed our game too. Send another one over ( I may get you this time - I am reading up 🙂). You are both in my Buddies list and my Ignore list. You seem like such a nice guy when you are not talking.

It's not you - it is the medium.
Start a blog. Kewpie was right. Your blog would be welcome, as it would fill a need/niche.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyWhat a total windbag. Nobody is threatened by you. You need a good home invasion to give you some idea of what a threat really is.

Originally posted by mercurialMercurial, a few final thoughts. RHP Public forum threads are, in a way, reverse reflections of life itself: 1) Most suffering stillbirth and and dead by the age of 21 (58); 2) Many living out normal lives to expire somewhere between the ages of 22 and 99 (23). 3) A few surviving to the ripe old age of 100 + years, dying of natural causes then (9). Parenthetical numbers are snapshots of the present life expectancy of threads on the RHP General Forum, pages 1-3 (90 total). For what it's worth, mine total 13 on the same three pages: 1) Stillborn and dead before the age of 21 (7). 2) Four (4) expiring somewhere between the ages of 22 and 99; 3) Two (2) surviving to the ripe old age of 100 + years, dying then of fatigue and other natural causes.

Reluctant to presume to draw too many conclusions with such limited point in time data. Suppose we could observe that these forums are self sustaining by reason of the renewal of self purging (dying of their own weight or lack of legs). Also that, in their wisdom, Russ & Chris insured rebirth by prohibiting self serving posts to a member's own threads (or threads of friends) to keep the page one ob/gyn delivery room open for biz 24/7 rather than allowing it to become an unattractive morgue filled with the stink of dead soldiers and pink infants rotting away in the slow, smokeless burning of decay.
There was another thought or two which now escape me. Sorry. Guess it's time to return to my sleepy pillow and call it a day. gb
