Hey, I'm better than you...look at my post count
 

I almost never post in the O/T area...but I just need to vent. I was just checking in on two threads I had posted in yesterday and was reading some of the replies when I came across this one :


"Interesting comments...

Especially from some of the guys with low posts.. which tells me you may be new to Porsche or to buying used Porsche parts."


How is a post count any type of measurement on how knowledgeable you are about Porsches or buying Porsche parts. Makes no sense. I hate crap like that. It's like saying "oh look at me...I'm smarter than you.....just look at my post count".
I have been on this site almost everyday for years. Even if for just a few minutes. I have been a registered member for just over 2 years and for the most part....I don't feel the need to post that much. I enjoy just reading what other people have posted. Most questions I think of have been asked before and can be found w/ a search....and quite frankly...I hate typing. As a result, I have a little over 200 posts. When I read the above it just rubbed me the wrong way and I thought..."geez... If I was on say, 330 days a year and posted a couple times a day, which I could have easily done, I'd have as many posts as this guy". Would that make me any smarter concerning Porsches? What makes him think that a post count is a ruler for someones Porsche knowledge? Incredibly shallow.
There were several things about those 2 threads that irritated me. That was the first issue. As stated above, I not a big fan of typing and don't feel the need to post much. So.....I'm done.

Yeah, that's the attitude among post whores (and RGruppe "Secret Society" tards). They think those of us with "low" post counts have no other outside/real world experience. :rolleyes: They are present on every forum.

Terry, you need to share some of your art here, that will shut them up. Fact is some people lurk, but the ones to watch out for are the newbies with real high post counts.

Terry most of the people that do this have a small penis!

Don’t give up, just belly up to the bar and dish it back out.
PP is no diff than any other P forum out there, post count, like you said, doesn’t mean $hit :D

Byron, i'm sure you've seen that one before. It's the one I did for Bob Snodgrass at Brumos. I believe it was given to Dan Davis/ Brumos by Bob.



Here is a Jag xk120 I did for a collector here in Jax. (PV actually)

Here is another Brumos car. 550 RSK. Not sure if they still own that one. I think Bob said that car wasn't one of their favorites. I could be wrong...just look at my post count!

Low post count (LPC?) is typically only as meaningful as one believes it is, IMO.

I wouldn't worry too much about someone making an issue of it, unless you make an issue of it. :D

I like the Birdcage (that is a Maserati Birdcage, yes? :) ).

Very nice work!

As I said in another thread . . . I would hate to be the Porsche Master Mechanic with 50+ years of experience under his belt who's just had his first internet connection installed.

"What do YOU know? You've only got 10 posts! I have 13,001 and I CAN CHANGE MY OWN OIL!"

The vast majority of my posts have been in OT. That doesn't give me technical knowledge.

In the 944 forums we have guys like Nick (Many944s), Speedy (speedracing944), George (944Ecology), and John (TNT25169) who have years of experience far superior to my own. I usually try to point newer guys to them for good answers.

OTOH, a guy with a handful of posts who makes the famous "What oil is best?" query might deserve some "thoughtful ribbing". :D

Do these really work?

Hey, now, Danny, those wind thingamawhatsies have been SCIENTIFICALLY-LIKE PROVEN to increase gas mileage. They work by reducing the weight of the vehicle, especially around the pocket usually reserved for your cash.

And it's against the law in some states to own those and a cool collar without wearing a tinfoil hat.

My account on Wayne's server got corrupted a while back and when he fixed it my post count went waaaay up. I requested it be knocked back down but it hasn't been. I actually only have about, maybee 1800 posts.

Some are early ones on the air cooled board where I asked a lot of questions and learned a lot.

Probably 95% are here on OT and are agravating and useless because I'm a pain in the ass.

i went through a moment of shame and self loathing when my post count rolled over 1000.

How much of the post count is guys posting "sub'd" in the thread because they are too damn retarded to use the "subscribe to thread" selection under "thread tools" at the top.

Pisses me off.

UOTE]

Man Terry thats some really good stuff - You didn't tell me you were an artist! I need one of my car - lol

Terry, you & Dave need to meet me for a drink sometime:cool:

I dunno, but I've heard good things about this!

Ya, those noobs should come over here to OT to post several hundred pointless observations before they post a question on a tech forum.

(and there's one more post fo' me!!)

What's the Rgruppe?

I think its a family thing. Like in most social structures from the stone age to modern society, man is a flock animal that feels more comfortable in a group of people he knows, rather than with strangers.

Those with a high post count, no matter the relevance of those posts, are persons that the rest feel comfortable with. They are, in a matter of speech, family.

With a good friend or family member you are automatically allowed a higher tolerance level.

There is no right or wrong in this, its just a case of human nature. However, IMO its really unnecessary and rude to bring up the post count as a reason, particularly in the tech forum. As you say, a guy with one post may be a far more experienced mechanic than one with ten thousand.

Terry - don't worry about post whores. Most of them got that many posts by arguing over whether there is a God or not and politics. Very sad. I had to sell my 911 years ago but still lurk here for those special PPOT moments.

This thread makes me feel insecure and inadequate - or is that feeling regret for all the wasted hours here...(and that with a low count)

In any case see included and apologies to Paul WD [I no longer have a ] 72S

I saw the same comment and thought it was rude and condescending too.
Maybe post count is related to penis size, ie small count = huge donger.

Anyway thats put my teeny weeny post count up one. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/grin.gif

Great looking art Terry. Don't sweat the resident retards, send Tabs a PM and he'll push them down the stairs.

One prolific poster (since banned for the 2nd time) accumulated almost 7000 posts in less than one year's time if I recall correctly...at least 6,999 of them were bashing liberals (and he didn't even own a Porsche) :)

I resemble that remark

which ever one it was

the only thing Tabs pushes down stairs, is the trolley full of foodplates he stole at the buffet, while running from the buffet security goons...

Is that any worse than the 'look what I own', 'look where I went', 'look how much money I have' poster? Who shall remain nameless.

Time and time again some noob shows up and starts blabbing on about something or other, often it is just gibberish. Odds are he is a troll or simply hasn't been around the board long enough to get a feel for it, what is cool and what is not, what is acceptable behavior etc.
because of that people are naturally wary of noobs and tend to judge them accordingly. I usually don't pay much attention to noobs at all.

Yes, that is profiling and I don't give a crap if it isn't PC. Profiling is another word for common sense to everyone except certain minorities and the ACLU.

Everyone knows the join date is much more important then the number of post.:D I think I'm on this board a lot and then I see someone that joined a couple of years ago and has 10,000 post.:(

I have nothing to add... I'm just running up my post number.

Ditto!
