"Please see reply #76", huh? No, I don't think I will !

[Bucky]

If you want me to read your reply to me, take the three seconds it requires to cut and paste it to me! I'm not going to go scanning thru the non-sequential listing of replies just to see what you had to say to someone else.

Sheesh, as if your words are too precious to waste on replying to the likes of me...

1. See reply #2.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Well, actually. MY words are too precious to waste replying to you.

:rofl:

:hi:

[Bucky]

23. Sir, my eyes are too precious to expose to your comments.

They're a sparkling hazel by the way.

3. I feel your pain.

On a long thread, it's enough to make one throw one's computer out the window.

4. I Can't Find Post #76 Here

Are all the rest of the posts in this thread hidden?

How can I find post #76?

I can't even see post #75!!

[wryter2000]

20. Hey

It's probably someone you're ignoring. Or, someone who's ignoring you. I never figure out how that works. :crazy:

5. See reply #1 n/t

6. What the SamHill is this about?

[Kittycat]

12. Grandma? Is that you?

:scared:

24. Mom's from Missouri

She says "What in the Sam Hill?" a lot and even uses "cotton-pickin'" as an all purpose adjective. Until I realized these were colloquialisms, I often wondered who Sam Hill was and where all that cotton picking was going on in the middle of Houston.

7. What about they give you a link do you can jump back to #76?

I think the permalink is the fairest compromise.

17. True, but whatever happened to courtesy?

It takes at least as long to cut and paste a url of a reply as to post the reply itself, but you're still asking me to click away from what I'm reading to read your reply to someone else. I just think courtesy wise it's better to give me a reply rather than asking me to peek in on you reply to some third party.

Goddamn, listen to my shit! I'm like fucking Miss Manners here.

8. Thank you! That is my ultimate pet peeve. I never look.

Grew tired of looking years ago.

[Bucky]

19. That's your ultimate pet peeve?

I can think of dozens of other more annoying things--most of which I do myself.

[Pathwalker]

28. Lol! Only for DU. In real life, it's men who don't life the toilet seat first.

Blech!

9. "edit" "find" "76"

All from that fancy shmancy toolbar at the top of the screen. Let's give it up for the programmer that thought that feature would come in handy some day.
:applause:

[lurky]

13. Ctrl+F is even easier.

:)

[Kittycat]

15. See there you go - making it all super simple and stuff.

[Bucky]

21. Google search "Etiquette"

Or just meditate on the notions of common courtesy

Sure, I know how to search for things. The point has to do with giving me a reply rather than asking me to look into how you replied to someone else.

[zorahopkins]

25. Right You Are!

"The point has to do with giving me a reply rather than asking me to look into how you replied to someone else.

You are so right!

After all:

It is all about:

That's what I just did with someone else.
