================================================ Subject: Re: I'm back! From: "Keith P. Mears" To: Date: Mon 10 Sep 2001 03:53:28 -0500 ================================================ My point, as I've tried to express in the past, is that it is no more necessary to attach LOL (or LMAO, or any version of an emoticon, i.e. ;-) ) to EVERY single post than it is to include the word FUCK in every sentence. We are, for the most part, a mature and at least semi-intelligent group, and we do not need every list member telling us when they find something humorous, ESPECIALLY when in most cases, LOL is being attached to a post that has NO HUMOR, as in: I sure do wish that Keith guy would stop bitching about me using LOL. He's such an asshole when he does that. LOL Now, if Keith has any intelligence, he'll either A)deduce that the poster is serious, and attempt a witty retort, B)assume the poster is joking (even though he was called an "asshole"), and attempt a witty retort, or C)ignore the message completely and attempt a witty retort just on general principle. Whatever the final conclusion, LOL has no more purpose in that post than an appendix does in a person's body (other than as an example, as in the first sentence). ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 3:07 AM Subject: Re: I'm back! > So your point is???
