Here is the updated one I created from this posted earlier in Aug 14, 2005 when this first appeared here. The names have been changes to protect the innocent
Definition of a Teardrop adaptation of another humorous post about changing light bulbs and modified it for our forum with humor
1 to ask what is a teardrop and to post that Question in the General Section of the Board
14 to share their definition of what a teardrop is, and what is not a teardrop by Purist or traditional definitions
7 to caution about the about what the definition of the definition really is
1 to move it to the Off Topic Section of the board
2 to argue about it a while, then move it back to the General Discussion Section of the Board
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts from people posting claiming to be English Majors
5 to flame the spell checkers as ‘know it alls”.
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames and start another side controversy and PM each other about it back and forth for days discussing it
6 to argue over whether if it is a Teardrop or a Tiny Travel Trailer by definition
another 6 to condemn the first 6 as stupid.
2 industry professionals to inform the group what the proper definition of a Teardrop
verses a Tiny Travel Trailer really is
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that the term teardrop is perfectly and politically correct by definition verses other types of trailers and their political correctness
4 to admit they are new to the discussion and ask what is it all about
2 start a side conversation about sports teams and who is better
1 Tree hugger scolds everyone for disrespecting “Nature” as God intended it
5 people attack each other over political and or religious beliefs
19 to post that this argument is stupid and it has no place on the board, can’t we all get along and change their user profile to “Hidden” and lurk anyway
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all have a right to our opinion and therefore all posts are relevant to this forum.
36 to debate which method of construction is superior, where to buy the hardware, what brand of hardware works best for this technique and what brands are faulty.
7 to post URL’s where one can see examples of different kinds and types of trailer building products and claim they have no affiliation with them
2 guys hijack the thread and talk about mythological animals like the Chupacabra and provide the link to that original discussion
1 to ask what is a Chupacabra?
4 to post that the URL’s were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL’s.
3 to post about links they found from the URL’s that are relevant to this group which makes their opinions relevant to this group discussion.
5 people to hotlink to pictures of teardrops and tiny travel trailers hosted on by other sites
6 people to complain about dead images.
3 people to tell them to right click the image and copy the URL into another window or how to post images to their posts relevant to the discussion at hand.
13 to read all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers, images and signatures, and add “I agree”.
1 to post a poll relevant to the original post discussion so it can have a new life in another section of the board
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the my opinion is better than your opinion controversy.
4 to say not this garbage again make this point known to all
13 to say “do a search on building techniques or products from the archive before posting redundant questions about them
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
