Funny thing...
...why? <- and please note the "onelineness" of this.
About that, wildcard (the webmaster) said looooong before this forum was attacked and lost almost everything: "Jocke, count post isn't what matters. Content over quantity" (or something as elocuent as that) Anyways, some people seems more "responsive" than others, and you should habituate to that behavior.
True, true and true. The latter is one of the things that make this forum interesting, IMHO.
Some people don't have the brain -or don't want to use it at the moment- to generate more elaborated answers. Sometimes even an elaborated answer isn't necessary at all. All things are relative, mind you.
As previously mentioned, that feature could be defeated easily. Also, you can't post when no content is provided, that's already done. And... how you dare to stand against the mighty Mr. Glenn's patented one-liners???
Regards.

Quote:Many of these exclamatory posts cause others to ask the originator what he meant. In many instances, no explanation is given. In other cases these two members go off on a tangent.

Quote:If you want to use an exclamatory remark, fine, but back it up and include something relevant to the thread.

Quote:I suggest that a post should contain some minimum number of characters and/or words to qualify for being a post, and an error message issued accordingly just like when no text is contained in the body of the post. These limits could be established by the Administrator or Webmaster.
