Are you certain about that?

[TolerancEJ]

I don't read anything longer than 3 paragraphs. I just jumped in with a +1 for fun.

+1...or replying to a post with 10 pictures. You can still quote the post you're replying to but either just pick out the one or two lines you're specifically replying to or just truncate after the first few lines followed by "...". It isn't a problem when you're got a short post but if you're responding to more than a paragraph...no need to quote the whole thing.

Where is the fun in this?^^^^^^^ +1

[CalboDaGo]

+ 1 @ all the grammer-nazis who have responded so far. *in my guy who hates slap bass because he himself cant slap...clears throat* for your information, i could use proper grammer and punctuation if i wanted, but whats the point? im a "pocket typist", all your fancy king's english aint necessary.

[4dog]

See no quote and im already 3 posts behind what i was pointing at.

[CalboDaGo]

is there any such thing as absolute truth @ matticus? no matter WHAT someone posts, no mattercus what the op's background or experiece is SOMEONE will always go out-of-their way to disprove or assimilate him/her.

[CalboDaGo]

lmao, you miss my point @ 4dog..i think the quote feature is awesome..almost as awesome as this innovative, brand new style of thread we are currently posting history in. im talking about the joker who drags the ENTIRE interviewing bassists thread, re-posts it just to say +1..if youre gonna make me re-read all that over and over, atleast add some wisdom or sarcasm...SOMETHING extra to it for my troubles.

Absolute truth corrupts absolutely!

10 hundred bonus points for being the first person to use the word mattercus, that was pure brilliance.

I only asked if you were certain, because Ive this wrenching feeling the matter[cus] has been discussed before, albeit maybe not exactly in the same regard as this thread.

And your post would have been 10times more effective had you quoted me.

No disrespect intended but you're 15 aren't you?

YOU members...YOU who engage in this type of behavior are who i refer to as the "+1 Army",YOU who owe TB so much more than a +1...you who will +1 my statment as if to say "yer right on calbo, but +1 . your statement is lacking something vital..so i'll add 1 to it, but i wont share what it is". that felt GOOD, mods i wasnt sure if this belonged in the off-topic section or the technique section perhaps? please feel free to move it or sticky it.. and why do guys always tell mods to move something? lmao! *my mod voice* "thankyou for your permission BedroomBass6969, i would have never known to do that without your direction"

There seems to be a plethora of angry kids starting daft threads on TB recently.

Come back Eric Albany...all is forgiven.

btw, to the OP, this topic has been covered at least 3 times in the 2 years I've been here. Trouble is, new App search function won't let me find them. If I could be bothered, that is. Too much exercise for my poor finger.

[CalboDaGo]

im 34 years old (not that it should matter). am i not allowed to have some fun here? and i take my hat off to the guys who tell other "use the search feature, roooar!" there must be a million threads on talkbass (i know a million might be a stretch)! kudos to those of you with the capacity to memorize them all, then flame some poor schmuck for touching on a topic that YOU in your omnipresent wisdom feels or KNOWS has been done before.. i read somewhere that we are somewhere around the 8'000th generation of people on earth..surely EVERY thing has been discussed already, and theres no such thing as an original thought..let alone talkbass post

Before my time my friend, before my time...though I have looked as some NTB gems in the HOF. If only I'd found TB earlier.

I reckon this thread's got legs though...

That's the beauty. Although not active, we can search the archives for some pure gems!

Well actually, doesn't it matter to you that most responses assume you are an angry teenager? I'd be embarrassed to behave like this at your age.

Carry on

Ouch.

[CalboDaGo]

my next thread will be about "Mascots" those are people who are SOOO addicted to the internet..they literally get offended because someone doesnt use the search function before posting. Mascots say things like "use the search function", they have memorized every thread, they get physically ill if someone here disagrees with their choice of pups or or brand of guitar stand. mascots throw around words like "troll" and inquire about peoples ages..they'll check your profile AND cross-reference every thread youve ever started or posted in before they'll even acknowledge a question you may pose or some advice you may seek .now, look a the post above yours, then beneath yours..good chance one of them fall into the "mascot" category.

Calm down. This is a really stupid thing to be angry about. Sheesh.

Sorry if this in the wrong spot; I won't be butt hurt if this is moved" (because folks get upset about the silliest things, such as threads being moved to the appropriate sub-forum and what-not).

Is there a formula to figure time spent scrolling?

Maybe -1.75 instead of -2.
