Evolution of a Thread
-
When a long thread starts up with something that doesn't paticularly inspire me to click through all the replies I often read the first post or two then click on a reply much further down the thread to see how it has evolved. Sometimes it's quite comical... In the original post entitled "Please read as it is important" Christian showed us some lude spam he'd received which starts with : 1. How do you rate your confidence that you could get and keep an erection? 2. When you had erections with sexual stimulation, how often were your erections hard enough for penetration ... ... The first few replies confirmed my suspicions that this thread was doomed to explore some pretty depraved paths so I clicked ahead on one of Christian's much later replies to find : I have not even installed VB.NET, C# all the way baby! Without the benefit of the intermediate evolution this conjured up some pretty weird mental imagary, not to mention questions about how hard VB.NET really is :) Steve T

And the sig needs some airing, some serious airing... ;P I like the cyberspace one though (yes I know it has been around for a few weeks nowm but it is still good.) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront

The funny thing is that usually threads evolve the other way round. A thread would start: 'hey - did you hear about such-and-such a technology' and within 4 messages it would be '...and John was there with this goat...' It's astounding. cheers, Chris Maunder
