The Brits sent all the rude Irish people to Van Dieman's land and then the rudest of them ended up in Oz We Irish are most refined *sniff*StevieG wrote:I'm Australian, what can I say (you're Irish - surely you understand!!)ussusimiel wrote:You are soooooo rude!

In my limited experience I've come to see that unlike a blog, a thread is like a conversation, where there's turn-taking. Multiple posts fracture the conversation because the person trying to respond is only getting part of the other person's position. If double posting was blanketly allowed it could be used as a tactic to frustrate. You are currently using double posting in an obviously humourous way, but I'd be surprised if you double posted as part of a more serious conversation.StevieG wrote:And another thing (just to piss off the multi post nazi's ) - why is multiple posting frowned upon? What is the reasoning?
Double posting also boosts your post count and can be used as a way of touting a thread. (I'm sure the more experienced people here know a few more reasons why double posting is frowned upon.)

Actually, it's mostly a problematic possibility on crowded forums, where posting every time you have an afterthought can end up with a 200-page thread instead of a 50-page thread, which could actually matter in terms of convenience. On a smaller forum it matters less. And moreover if it's not a general habit, only done occasionally - like with ice-cream - a cone or a few should do no harm, a dozen can matter.

Eff, I can understand that. Obviously on this forum, it's not such an issue. Don't know about the post count thing - I mean, possibly on larger forums, but really, does anyone here give a flying fruitcake about their post count? Well, maybe one or two do, but I don't think that's something that Watchers are too concerned about.
