Okay, TG, Gerrard really doesn't look like Paul Newman. Must be my "fevered imagination."

Is Nanette cute, Bill?


Not in football boots on a sunday morning, no. wink

I must be missing something. What is wrong with me? For some strange reason, I don't find any joy or purpose in reading a new thread, researching whether there's a previous thread on the subject and then tripping over myself to point out to the unsuspecting poster that said duplicate exists. Why oh why can't I feel the rush, the buzz, the kick?

I am going to make a point of trying it next time to find out exactly what I am missing.


On other forums they call that "necrobumping" and regard it as bad. You just can't win!

You don't know what you're missing.

Yes, Bill, I said that and other things too about not "jumping" people who bring up previous topics. I don't want old topics to die. Also we had fewer topics in 2004, and I could find older topics rather easily in the search engine at that time. Today, I can't always track down an older topic. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. And sometimes after 15 years, one may change his/her perspectives.

Ironically, last night I posted the topic Mary Magdalene and never even thought about looking for a previous thread. Today I looked for it, and that previous topic popped right up. Duh. Embarrassed.

In general I actually agree with Thor on this one. An existing thread should be bumped so we can continue the conversation in a localized place. I always do a search before posting so I don't start a duplicate thread.

That said the search feature on this site is awful. So it's easy to do a search and not find an existing topic. But I also get the feeling a lot of people don't even try searching for similar threads before starting a new one.

Interesting discussion here. I've actually learned quite a bit. I've learned that:

Thor has been here 23 years but at this point doesn't give a damn.

joan heard from some random Brit guys that Kev looks like a young Paul Newman but the Brits actually said he looks like a young Steven Gerrard. Not sure who's addled - joan, Kev or the random Brit guys. Maybe Thor?

Carson has a very serious side when he agrees with Thor and gives very clear instructions that even my addled brain can follow along with joan, Kev, the random Brit guys and Thor.

Carson thinks Kev looks like a woman named Nanette and joan still wants to know if Kev is cute.

TG has a better memory than joan but Howard L has the best memory of all or else he collects links to old FSM threads.

Jehannum agrees with me and gave me a new word to use.

solium agrees with Thor (of course) but I still like the guy

joan actually likes to necrobump

I still hate the FSM search engine and maybe too lazy to Google of late.

That's a good summation.

I still think 'necrobump' sounds like a terribly dirty enterprise. big grin

"Necrobumping." EEWWWwwwww. I do like some of our historical topics, especially ones like To Kill A Mockingbird.

However, I'm on your side Edw. I don't think that a poster should be jumped for posting a topic that either the poster forgot to look up (like I did yesterday), or for the fact that sometimes the search engine didn't work.

What do you mean "of course"? Me and Thor disagree 99.9% of the time.
Glad we're still friends though. smile

I don't find any joy or purpose in reading a new thread, researching whether there's a previous thread on the subject and then tripping over myself to point out to the unsuspecting poster that said duplicate exists.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that Thor really got your message, Edw. Seems like you are a bit fed up with people who immediately post, "Hey, this topic was posted a few years ago. Use the search engine."

And we do use the engine before we post a new topic, and the engine often does NOT find that previous topic so why jump on the new poster?

I think we should let people respond to the newest topic and maybe after some time let a poster know that in a "far away galaxy" decades ago, we talked about this composer or score or whatever and then post that URL for HISTORICAL perspectives. Am I close, Edw?


I think you're correct joan and you are spot on! It seems to bother the men on the board more than the women. That is NOT a sexist comment, just an observation. Of course, there are fewer of us. Not sure why it gets their shorts in such a bunch. There might be a few more issues that are more important here. smile



My shorts don't bunch razz I've never understood why it makes some have a hissy fit. As Joan said, the search engine won't find the topic most times anyway.

So what if there was another thread 2 years ago on the same topic? It ain't the end of the world. Don't give it a second thought.

LOL, Edw. Yep, bunched shorts can be uncomfortable. Glad Mike is free of that burden. And I am thrilled to be a co-president instead of being relegated to vice president.
