: : : : Well if you guys are both so anal, here's a challenge. Who can first note the longest string on this current board. It's way buried and it was created intentionally to be the longest. Tell me the posting info (who, when, etc.)and win a...well nothing, but if you're TRULY anal, then you HAVE to find it...you HAVE to! It just BUGS you! You HAVE to!
: : : Wish I didn't have final exams to administer now--no time to find it. But I do remember it! People were writing really long subject lines (like Bob the Alien, perhaps?) just to make the lines wrap numerous times on the extreme right side of the board. I also remember that the bbs perl code finally just self destructed and I had to beg people to stop adding to the thread. Good times... ;-))
: : Actually, that one's not on this current board. It must be archived. There's one more recent.
: OK, check out my tower of Babel at the end of the thread in question. Er, I mean, babble.
NICE! It's so nonsensical! Can you imagine if this board was one of the only records of our society to survive? Geez! Just think of the theories that would produce! And Congratulations...you have just earned bragging rights to the title of most visibly anal person on this board...I say visibly anal (not to be confused with 'visible') because I know some of those lurkers have also looked for it...or 'lurked' for it, HA! OK, this thread has not only gone to hell, it's bought real estate. Quick someone post something serious and let's all pretend we're intellectual again!
