    Proposal: Let's rename the site?

    I was browsing the forum and I noticed that a certain well-known forumite was "spamming the board". Who was this heinous person? None other than our own Inq! His average time between posts was around 3 minutes. I propose that we rename the site inquartata.net. It's either that or we find him a Mrs Inquartata. Or perhaps we should look under his bed to see if that is where is life has been accidentally kicked.

    What do we think?

    If it is, was she bored to death by his curmudgeonery (if that's even a word)?

    From the frequency of his posting... I assume he uses both hands for typing.
    Take your time. Read carefully.

    Meh, I think Gav was offended at my intimation that he had no sense of humor and has been hard at work designing a trope to prove that it isn't true.

    But absent evidence to the contrary, I am going to presume that he actually farmed the job out to someone less dour.

    I don't stand in awe at his post count like I used to, now that ZZ and G?F? both have more than half his posts.

    Time for Inq to step it up.

    I think I'll have to wade in here, and say that Gav does indeed have a sense of humour - just not a very good one.

    Ah, but how do we know, according to the Benevolent Inq's theory, that you are not feeding Gav his lines (like some i-Cyrano?)

    So you're implying I don't have a sense of humour either?

    Despite both of them having come to f.net well after I did---about a year after in the case off ZZ and FOUR YEARS ( ! ) after for G?F?.

    Amazing what a lot of one-word posts will do for ya.

    How about "offence"?
