Post–go ahead. I’m here to help, I’ll read what you write, and I’ll answer if I can. Hell, I’ll even be polite and helpful, but FOR CHRIST’S SAKE, STOP REPLYING TO YOUR OWN POSTS BEFORE ANYONE (okay, I mean me) HAS A FUCKING CHANCE TO READ THEM! What the thundering jaysus do you think the pretty little button with “Edit” written on it is for? When I log in, I check each of the forums for which I’m responsible, and even some for which I’m not because…hey, I’m a nice guy. I do note which threads have new replies and check most of them unless it’s something kind of lame in which I’ve already put my obligatory reply, but those with no replies get priority because for all I know, they could be emergencies (whether the poster knows it or not), or new members whom I want to make feel welcome straight away. If the thread doesn’t look like an emergency and isn’t one in which I know a sick fish is being discussed, I might very well leave it until later–perhaps much later–when I have more time to sit here and hammer on the keys. It’s possible I’ll forget all about it; I’m (mostly) human, I get computer neck on a daily basis, and if my head’s pounding, I’m doing well to tell you how not to kill your poor fish. Anyway, if you cannot possibly wait a few hours for someone to reply to your posts, then by all fucking means, do it yourself, but don’t expect me to kill myself to get in there and offer my sage advice (bahaha) because IF I do, I’m going to take my sweet fucking time about it. Don’t worry, you’ll still get lots of replies…your own.
P.S. I fuckin’ hate the way edit works on the new version of WP. Stop hiding the goddamn tags from me, forcing me to disable Javascript if I want to actually…oh, EDIT something. I KNOW what the tags look like and I don’t need a cutesy little button to figure out how to insert a picture or italicise text. Dicks.
P.P.S. My web host gets the Shit Service Award for highest number of erratic, inexplicable short-term outages. Good job, guys–thank God I don’t have a DB of any size or you’d really choke.
