A lot of truth here.rocky the dog said:
Thank you. I couldn't have said it better. This is one of the reasons I quit last summer but didn't want to mention it. It's also a reason I don't post many OPs here. I find it to be a waste of time if all your efforts are unrewarded.Quote:
This is a TA phenomenon that I've also observed. Somebody finds a meaningful topic to post about and spends minutes to hours quoting, editing, linking, and typing out a relevant message to go along with the rest of it - and they might not even get a star. The first couple of posters with a snarky comment will go blue in less time than it took to post the OP. That's why I make it a point to star an OP that I've posted a response to and even star a post that I found worthy of quoting in agreement.
I don't get it either.
Me, too.agent-maroon said:
Dammit, Rocky! That Zuckerberg meme had me laughing so hard it hurt a little...
Many thanks for all you do!
Yeah, I actually typed out a completely workable set of steps to privatize education about 15 yrs ago, sourced info, etc.....and of course people poopoo'd it right away forgetting that I'm pretty much always right. After that, I rarely go into too much detail anymore.rocky the dog said:Thank you. I couldn't have said it better. This is one of the reasons I quit last summer but didn't want to mention it.

As much as I enjoy being a part of Forum 16 and the Aggie family, there seems to be an element where posters either neglect to blue star a post that they like, or they just don't do it as a practice, or they think someone's post doesn't deserve credit. It's not like blue stars are in someone's account. They're free to give away, no charge. And I'm not talking about myself, I see it all the time here. If you like someone's comment or meme, give 'em credit with a blue star. Is that too much to ask for?
But the one time when you were wrong it was because you thought you were wrong about something.BigRobSA said:rocky the dog said:

Wives won't tell you how much it cost, just how much they saved because they got a deal.aggiez03 said:A lot of truth here.rocky the dog said:
Only gay guys even know what kind of purse it is.
And from what I am told $500 is not even in the ballpark for some of these purses...

Just stumbled across this. A kernel of truth in this.
To show how much I am out of it, I have been reading this forum for years and until today I never bothered to know what a star was. Now I know and I might use from time to time.rocky the dog said:Thank you. I couldn't have said it better. This is one of the reasons I quit last summer but didn't want to mention it.

I was reading this and thinking "don't go all Gary on us Rocky"!rocky the dog said:
Okay. I have a complaint.
I post over 50 memes and receive (at this point) 35 blue stars. Someone posts a thread last night asking where are the Sunday Funnies and his post receives 33 blue stars (at this point). I don't get it. I do all this work and I'm neck and neck with a poster who is looking for my thread. I don't need the stars, but it doesn't make sense to me. The Sunday Funnies should be POTD every Sunday, but it's always a struggle to stay on page 1.
There. I've said it. What are you going to do about it?
