    Posted: October 10 2008 at 10:13

Anyone who has been here any length of time at all will begin to understand the basic order of posting for long threads. However, to help some of the newer members of our fine forum who might worry over upsetting the delicate posting etiquette, here is a brief guide as to exactly when to add specific comments as the thread develops:

Post 1: (The genesis post - no pun intended)
Split into three groups - Newbies (who want to know something), older forum lags (who have the answers) and trolls (who live under bridges and eat billy goats). A good question or a statement is usually the springboard of a long thread

Post 2
The reaction post - filled with love, hate, fear or just poo (possibly all four).

Post 3
Usually someone pointing out that the subject for discussion has already happened in another thread.

Post 4
The support post - Here comes the cavalry to back up post 1.

Post 5
The counter post - And here come more injuns...

Post 6
The digression - Genesis are great and btw, I'm a teapot and the Kaiser wants to steal my string.

Post 7
The spelling/grammar Nazis - Usually disturbed from a long winter hibernation and have been woken up (with a sore head). Never mind your point you ignorant scum, watch your damn tautologies or I will rise up out of my hole and rape your budgie.

Post 8
The level headed liberal post - Look, there ARE no genres. Just good and bad music.

Post 9
The Dalek - I HAVE NO HUMOUR, ONLY FACTS AND FIGURES. YOUR MIRTH AND JOY IRRITATES ME - EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE!!!!

Post 10
The Artist post - Actually, I'm Steve Wilson and that's that.

Post 11
The Fanboy post - Omg, I just love you Mr Wilson and everything you do.

Post 12
The Anti fanboy - I love Magma so, die Wilson die!!!

Post 13
There is NO post 13.

Post 14
The thank you post - Hardly ever seen but worth mentioning for novelty value

So there you have it - absolutely every kind of post that's EVER been made, neatly catalogued in one handy at-a-glance post. You need never fear posting the wrong thing again.

And before you say it - No problems, you are most welcome. Smile

One omission: Every even-numbered post on a poll is just an option name.

Post #13. Is this the equivalent of "Fight Club"?  We don't talk about Fight club much like we don't talk about post #13.
