the life of a typical Pelican thread

1) Newbie posts typical newbie question, eg "can I turbocharge my NA?", "how do I get more HP from my NA engine?"
2) 200-post member immediately flames newbie
3) SoCal really sticks it to newbie
4) Newbie expresses sadness, maybe indignation at being flamed
5) FrankB makes fun of newbie/SoCal/situation
6) Ronin or todwic or DarkSkies interjects some smart-ass comment, often accompanied by a link
7) Thread-starting newbie wonders aloud why "you guys are all such jerks"
8) FRWilk or Britwrench actually answers the question posed by the newbie, probably feeling bad for them
9) SoCal expands on the answer
10) someone contributes a link to help clarify answers
12) CJFusco finally posts, ignoring the last string of posts and immediately flaming the newbie
13) SoCal and FrankB make fun of newbie's spelling
14) Newbie becomes angry again
15) SoCal or FrankB or Ronin or TheCooler or ae1969 make fun of newbie for getting mad
16) Someone, possibly CJFusco (even though he just rekindled the argument) suggests that everyone should try getting along
17) Newbie says something witty; is immediately accepted into the fold

--OR--

17) Newbie says something immature and final, eg "you guys are the biggest *********s I've ever seen," and is never heard from again
