If 500 posts is an oldtimer, would 11,000 make TR a fossil?

TR has been down this road for a long time
Yes, welcome to the old-timers club. Gotwood will be sending you the HSBBW manual with respect to the standard, tortuous hazing ritual that will take place. Of course, Mn-Mom accepts checks, cash, or money orders to maintain your preferred status. Upon completion of your initiation, you can officially enjoy all the benefits of snobbery, vindictiveness and condenscension toward new members, benefits accruing only to Old-Timers. However, remember a few rules:
1) Anyone with more points than you is automatically right.
2) TR Hit is always right. Oh yea, that's rule 1.
3) You can talk about baseball if you want, but ridiculous jokes about the male anatomy and absurd graphics are preferred.

I sincerely take umbrage with your post---I have never claimed to be right---it you and others you make that statement---I just speak from experience---if that offends you all I sorry but that is the way it is
Last time I looked we, as USA citizens , we able to express our opinions and debate
I also think it time to stop with the "goody goody two shoes" aspect and look at the real world---yes truth does hurt een if you do not want to be the one to tell it to a player/parent.
Time for this site to get back to being real

What is the definition of truth? Is it true because biggerpapi says so now that he is an oldtimer? Is truth measured in karma points? Can Bum come up with a probablistic formula for determining likelihood of truth given the karma points weighing in from opposing sides? Does the truth really hurt? Does it really hurt me more than it hurts you?
These are the questions that try hsbbwebsters' souls.

Let me say that this site would not be nearly as good and widely diverse without TR...and the same can be said of all of the good posting members here on the HSBBW.
We all bring our unique point of view to this site...that is what makes it so rich.

Gotwood,
Fortunately you make up for the sense of humor deficit that some of us good posting members seem to have.
TR,
Bum was kidding. If someone else had the most posts their name would have gone there instead. We all have traits that could be picked on and sometimes those traits are our strengths. Keep on telling it like it is and the rest of us will try to soften the blow a bit. Both approaches can help.

That is pure "CA deep" and has this Northern head is spinning, looking for the meaning of life.
and my karmex.
Looking closely I've discovered that Gotwood has almost 7,000 posts in just 2.5 years while it has taken TR 5 years to amass a measly 11,000 posts. Not only that think of the bandwidth Gotwood has used up with all those pictures!
Bum,
Please replace TR with Gotwood in your post.

Yes there will be goats involved, and some pain??
You will get a bottle of anticeptic and aloa vera for the scaring.
6 months of recovery, you'll be OK.

"...think of the bandwidth Gotwood has used up with all those pictures!"
It may be a wide band, that's for sure CADad, but it's beautiful isn't it?

While all of that is true...and EH is primarily correct...I must add this disclaimer:
Sometimes our ritual gets literally quite hazy and things get out of hand a tad. The results on rare occasions end up something more than we had intended. Unfortunately no amount of antiseptic, aloe-vera, or any length of time will reverse or even soften these b-a-a-a-d side effects. Nonetheless we certainly feel the risks are well worth taking.
Here is a picture of our last unfortunate member following his initiation into our Old Timers Club...Billy Capparis.
But all is not lost...Billy went on to establish quite a successful cheesemaking company...he's actually very happy!

Here ya go, CADad..
(Karma Points x Shoe Size x Experience x Ego x 1,000,000 - 1 = 0). Add in 5 points for humor and 10 points for humility and you're the boss!
CADad,
No, cannabalistic formulas are definitely against the rules of this site. Or was that cannabalistic rituals? I don't know, I must be an Old-Timer myself...the eyesight is going, and now it seems my memory's not so...
...hmm-m-m, now what was I saying? Oh well, Congrats to biggerpapi! Nice teeth!

Which brings us to HOF credentials - Does the sheer number of posts over a long career outweigh high productivity over a shorter career, and is a picture worth a hundred 10 word posts?
