I have seen Joe reply only once, to one post, ever. I get a weird feeling he's using some sort of random message generator which puts text stings together into a message, and posts it automatically. So, expect more of: NK CVN listening PDQ Bach Turkey Invasion. Democrats Taiwan new Hegdehog Spec OPS Moratorium. Gov't Spcllsts challenge Rutabaga troops. Joe would have them in ALL CAPS of course. I could be wrong, it would be nice of the guy to actually speak up once and a while say "Hi!".

Sarge, Actually Joe's posts are encoded messages to someone. Who, I don't know.

Think he took that message to apply solely to the Russia forum!! Who do we think he is coding to then?

>>Think he took that message to apply solely to the Russia forum!! Who do we think he is coding to then?<< I'd tell ya, but i'd have to kill ya.

well, obviously its not a code to anyone, but can't we do something about these annoying posters? i dont know about you guys, but sometimes it takes quite a while to load up each post, so i have to choose who's i'm going to read. because of this, i've learned to a small degree, who's going to have some insightful comment, and who's going to just be saying absolute garbage. but, i can't be sure, and i'm probably missing some stuff. cant we set up some kind of elite board that only proven intelligent posters can get onto? yes, i'm new, and i wouldn't make such a board yet. ps. if you guys could help me out with who's posts i should bother to read, i'd appreciate it so far i have, SGTObvious, American Kafir (ps. whats a Kafir), 11b10, etc as good posters and joemendla, OXEN, as not so good. what i think we should work to avoid is useless posts that dont contain any questions, or answers about the relevent topics. naturally, this post is included as a useless post, but i hope that we can help strain out the dirty water from the intelligent spaghetti dinner that is this website.
