Actually now days everyone wins and gets a trophy.

You win the you get the exact same prize as the person that loses the argument. And since no one ever loses, and no one wins it is a just a big waste of electrons. Like the rest of PPOT. it is just entertainment.

Sorta like poker night with the guys.

Somehow half of us always came out ahead while the rest broke even.

Its the internet, I just assume everyone is smarter, richer and better looking than I am, and always wants to tell me that.

It was worse in the early days of the internet. I used do Q & A on some of the options boards. All of the monday morning quarterbacks were a joke.

Clearly this thread is a big competition to see who can bemoan others the best and obtain the moral high-ground; which is covered with a beautiful lawn that you damn kids need to get off of now.

Or you can just claim that you've won. That often works too.

You don't win an argument on the net, the best you can hope for is that someone becomes educated!

Three easy steps

1. Drive a Black Audi Wagon (B.A.W.)

2. Park said B.A.W. in a hotel lot where early 911 owners are holding an event and taking a group photo

3. WIN!

Back in the day one would just post this and assume victory




I think the current technique is to always get the last word.

/\/\ not subtle at all.

In fact, painfully obvious, and common.

the term from a commercial "let it go Phil", comes to mind. The Bard had a phrase for this persistent self denial, also.
