What is a shredded post?

That's what I call it when a person's post is separated into numerous quotes and each part commented on individually. It's a pet peeve of mine. But once someone replies to such a post by taking each reply from the previous, quoting each separately and responding to each separate response that I just smile, nod and move on to something my simple brain can follow. :)

Geez. People have complained that I can quote many different people in a post and I shouldn't respond to everybody's post individually, but it just makes things more personal, you know? Like when I'm quoted in a post with a one-liner as a response and they move on to address tons of other people, I'm thinking, "You couldn't just reply to me directly? Sheesh!"

...plus, my way of doing things increases my postcount.

I do something similar.

One thing that I do is respond to one or two posts in a thread that I started, but chosen carefully. I then wait for my thread to drop out of sight and then I respond to another post. I call the art, "Bumping Without Bumping". :D

It's like...Zen or something.

Please start a new thread if you want to discuss my probable location. I'll participate, and it could be interesting.

Oh yeah, right.

By the way, I didn't realize I'd inadvertently created a thread when somebody split it off. Go me! w00p w00p

What are you insisting? I very much so hope that you are not comparing me to you.
