#171115 - A Thought
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hi Everybody,

Something occurs to me, and I wonder if the same thing has occurred to anyone else.

As Erik points out, the first thing you see when you start a new thread is an instruction to use a descriptive subject, with the phrase "help me" explicitely counterindicated. Not only did the OP use precisely that phrase as his subject, he hasn't reposted anything to the thread.

I know that once upon a time many people used phrases like this because they didn't know better, hence the instruction and counterindication. But now I find myself wondering if Syed Mutahir Ahmed, and others in other cases, didn't start this thread as nothing more than a prank, a web-based version of lighting a paper bag on someones door step and ringing the bell. I wonder if Syed Mutahir Ahmed isn't hiding in the bushes, watching to see how many people come out to stomp on the flaming bag.

Just a thought,

Joe
