What happened to the topic?

quote:They're not sockpuppet accounts. They're approver accounts. Of course they are ... they're sockpuppet accounts that have received "The Seal of Approval." quote:It is done to ensure that the functions of the player aren't affected by the functions of the approver. Wow, what lousy 'spin.' The only person who wouldn't read that as a 're-dressed' definition of sockpuppet is the person who actually believes the approvers are anonymous. The whole thing is a farce. -

According to Mr. Mopar, you could always close the thread if you wanted to. -
What happened to the topic?
Zaphod Beeblebrox replied to geospotter's topic in General geocaching topics
quote:The most commonly accepted current definition is a more general:sock puppet An account made on an internet message board, by a person who already has an account, for the purpose of posting more-or-less anonymously. I like the "current definition" just fine. quote:I think most will agree, the Zaphod account fits this definition to a T, especially since you also have a rather significant amount of posts and cache finds under a different, older account. And that differs from the account you used to post that message in what way? quote:I might be a bit more proactive then them enforcing the no sockpuppet rule By the definition you provided, you are a "sockpuppet." Go be "proactive" and deal with yourself. -

quote:Originally posted by BrianSnat:I was sick of being brought to a spot only to find a plaque saying something like "this tree was planted in memory of Kenneth Johnston". Outside Ken Johnston's family, who really gives a rats patootie? Yeah, or houses that claimed "George Washington (may have) slept here" or plaques dedicated to so-and-so at some obscure birdwatch kiosk. Or physical caches placed in memory of someone-or-other. Who needs 'em? "Who gives a rats patootie?" I assume the person who placed the cache did ... and maybe so will those who visit it.

As a result, your meal was made less enjoyable, rather then more. Yes, that's one possible interpretation. There are a few others.

DO YOU READ THE FORUMS? YES OR NO?
Zaphod Beeblebrox replied to Jomarac5's topic in General geocaching topics
I was wondering if it was going to work like New Years Eve, where people follow the celebration west ... except in this case, I was hoping that further posts to the thread would be blocked time zone by time zone. TPBM has every episode of "It's about time, it's about space" and "The Time Tunnel" on DVD. -

Uhhh ... what? TPBM just realized 9 a.m. has come and gone on the east coast. -
quote:Originally posted by beatnik:Why is it that those that don't like to compete want to limit those that do? quote:Originally posted by geospotter:One might ask why those who wish to compete have to turn a nice non-competitive sport into a competitive one. I'm confused: Those appear to be competing questions.

quote:Originally posted by CO Admin: And the salt and pepper on the table are there to make the food more tasty. However, too much only spoils all the hard work the chef did. Not long ago, I had lunch at a pizza parlor, and on the table were four containers. The label on the clear container read "Salt." The label on the beige container read "Garlic Salt." The label on the red container read "Hot Pepper." The label on the white container read "Garlic." I selected the white container and poured some of the contents onto my slice of pizza. What did the container actually contain? Table salt. There's an analogy in there, somewhere.

Get rid of the "rolling eyes"

quote:Originally posted by Bull Moose: Ha. I doubt at that point in my life my b.p. ever pushed past 120/80. I am very glad to learn that at that point of your life you were the very picture of good health; the point of the post was that in forums such as these, the odds are pretty darn good that the person claiming to be "Charles Atlas" is actually the proverbial "98 lb weakling." -

Yes, I was praying that this thread won't be closed just yet. TPBM cracked corn, and I don't care. -

Yes. It will be about the time when I was out caching and spotted Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy behind a bush doing the darndest things! TPBM enjoys working as a forum moderator. -
