ProofReader

Now THERE'S a thread killer, if ever I saw one! The nic is enough to put anyone of taking the dic seriously!!!

ProofReader

Well, I reckon I've killed off at least a half a dozen tonight with 'crap' replies. Let's see the difference between trying to help out with genuine, informed replies versus the crap I've been out and about with tonight!

yvsie

ProofReader

Bah humbug ... I can never get anything right

yvsie

JackTheLad

No, its just no-one has said anything profound for a while.

Oh, I see your plan now, get us all bored, so we fall asleep.

Ha, no chance, I'm wide awake

Cheers,

Until a few days ago I thought I was a professional thread killer with a 25% hit ratio. Then hevs weighed in with a 55% hit ratio. It appears that I was but an amateur.

On a similar subject I put up a Friday Funny a few weeks ago (Questions about Australia), the following week I put up another (Why we love children), the next week 2 separate posters posted them again – I was having double déjà vu! I wouldn’t mind, but they got more replies than me (probably got more karma too).

I'm starting to feel not so bad, I think I've got about a 20% kill ratio. I remember those funnies being posted twice., they were funny the first time.

Oh! do you see what I've done! Another sad trick I used to try, I'd rate a thread as excellent (5 stars beside the thread), after I'd posted and got no response for a few hours, in the hope people would think, 'hmm, I must read and respond to this excellent 5 star thread' !

So if you ever wonder who's killed off the most 'excellent' threads, that would be me!

Cheers,
JTL

That's conned me into a few in the past (the 5-star thingy).

I just checked, and my kill ratio has gone up to 35% without even trying. Answering tax questions seems to be effective, especially when you give people the news they don't want to hear: "There are no tax dodges in Oz - it's not like the UK"

Cheers

It does a bit - but you get over it.

Here’s one of my all time favourite funny stories (myths).

------------------------
From a transcript of a radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10 Oct 1995, between a US Navy vessel and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland:

Americans: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision."

Canadians: "Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision."

Americans: "This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course."

Canadians: "No, I say again, divert YOUR course."

Americans: "This is the aircraft carrier USS Missouri. We are a large warship of the US Navy. DIVERT YOUR COURSE *NOW*."

Canadians: "We are a lighthouse. Your call."

Star business did it for me too...so I voted on this one
Just discovered I've put 14/108 out of their misery. But I would like to point out that none of them felt a thing and it was peaceful at the end
