Ah, I see, at first it was ANY sales thread (until you were caught), now it's just ACTIVE ones, tell me how long between posts we should wait? If the guy gets up and goes to the bathroom and it takes more that 2 mins, is that long enough? Do we have to wait for search parties to be formed?

 

Please tell us, as you seem to be making these rules up as you go along...god have mercy on anyone that plays monopoly with you.

lol, yeah, you really caught me Sherlock. :roflmao::roflmao:

 

I've never been shy to state what I dislike about these "active sales thread hijackings" (i.e. people posting gibberish while a seller is trying to post new books), and if you disagree, that's your right. But I've been very consistent in my views, and it's not my problem you have long-term memory issues.

 

Like I said, if you see a thread where no new books are being posted for what, 18-24 hours maybe, then feel free to post an emoticon. But we ALL know that's not where the foot traffic is, so that's not where the problems are.

Ah, okay, just wanted to know the time span we should wait before posting anything in a thread other than :takeit:

 

18 to 24 hours, thanks for the clarification (worship)

 

You do realize that - 01/27/09 10:20 PM Re: A Few Funny Books For Sale [Re: nik] posted a book, and at 01/27/09 10:21 PM you posted something other than :takeit:

 

I really don't care one way or another, I just think it's funny.

All it takes is a knowledge of the terms ACTIVE and INACTIVE. (thumbs u

 

Is anyone complaining that greggy posted an emoticon in a thread that has had no new books posted in 24 hours? I'd like to see it.

Well, the rule I was always told was, "If you shake it any more than three times . . . you're playin' with it." lol

i can't tell for the life of me whether you're just picking on joe or not - i suspect so - but i'd like to just chime in and say one or two instances of threadcrapping is a far cry from the sort of thing he's complaining about.

 

not that i necessarily agree with him, mind

Nah, I was bored, figured I would rattle his cage and see what flew out... lol

 

I don't agree or disagree with him, and I understand what he is trying to say, even if he comes across as some kinda self appointed forum cop, with no understanding of hypocrisy.

 

However, I do believe this is a Message board, not an auction site, and if you want a sterile buying and selling environment, then stick with Ebay, Clink or Heritage, no one there will congratulate you for a good buy, or post anything unwanted to your sale. Matter of fact, other than the other bidders and the seller, no one will give a rat's arse.

 

I just think there are more important things in life than worrying about extra stuff being posted in threads, yes let people post the books, but don't try to make it so others are afraid to post a comment, or icon.

 

Life is way to short to be bickering back and forth about how many little animations or needless posts someone may have posted.

 

rantrant over, go back to fighting amongst yourselves.

Hey folks, the best I've ever found for mailing posters is PVC pipe. You can buy 3" schedule 30 (A thinner wall than the regular stuff) in ten foot lengths for about 5 or 6 bucks. Shop at your local plumbing store or Big Box (Home Depot, etc)

 

You should be able to cut at least three mailers out of a length, all you need is a hacksaw or regular handsaw, make up some nice caps or plugs out of random bits of cardboard, tape it up and you have something that can't be bent without hydraulics, is completely waterproof, bugproof postofficeproof for about the same price or less than the cardboard mailers. This stuff rocks for posters.
