@Gwally:

Not that I'm presuming to answer for his Sleepiness, but I think it's safe to say that the Spamming/Lurking threshold lies somewhere in between Sleep's 15.91 posts per day and my 1.78 posts per day.

lol! No, lady druid. I think you miss the point (no doubt the Alzheimer's flaring up there). The visual aid is for you... and certainly no glasses will be required.

Nah...then the conversation would continue along its boring path, and we cant let that happen can we?

@Gwally Hmmm....good point about SPAMming vs lurking post count. I seem to be at 15.69 PPD. Thats in between the margins given. Do I qualify for being a lurker?

Damn those tendencies!

Ok, my psionic friend, allow me the freedom of a magnifying monacle and we can declare a win win situation

Agreed and well met! A magnifying monacle in order to make comparisions with other males, a Hoyer lift to set your jaw up off the floor, a bottle of excellent Shiraz, and the rest of the evening to ourselves. A decidedly win-win situation.

@ Ty....

I think you are just as lowsy a lurker as me!

Indeed! A magnifying monacle is a useful aid to spotting flaws in male...egos

The Shiraz is a great call! as will be the hoist after too many bottles thereof

Thank you for your kind consideration!

I think I could just about be a candidate for Alzheimer's myself..... I almost forgot to pick my son up from school earlier....again...

At this rate the child protection authorities will be looking to have me put away....

Welll that wasn't due to forgetting to make it...rather we forgot to go shopping last night

*Surveys the thread with a nice, fat, happy sense of satisfaction*

Well, job done for today! Now, I can return to lurking once more, secure in the knowledge that in SYM, Spam rules supreme, and nothing is as it seems.

@DW:

*hug*

They're come along way lately in Alzheimer's reasearch...a cure is in sight. It's ok.

@Gwally:

Look out Chanak! You are flirting with that 2.0 mark!

LOL! Well...

Nothing that a few days worth of lurking won't fix.

See ya!

Ok please everybody clear out of this thread. There`s nothing going on here.

Can`t we lurkers just be left alone.

Sorry, I logged off, I had to be up early this morning and I am already spamming by 9.40

- I am okay, I had a few issues with the doc earlier this week, drop me a PM or something and I shall explain further.

I think you were postulating about the general lack of sense that your fingers seem to make when you suddenly pop in a thread and begin denying that you have a sound mind and the uber-powers of a demi-god...mod status or no mod status...and that your mind seems to be screwed though quite frankly I don't see any evidence of this and anyway - what was I really trying to say here? I'm not really sure now.

I didn't say they don't make sense, rather I don't effect their sense making facility. They have a mind of their own and I am not sure whether it is sensible or not, perhaps it is just my imagination but occasionally I wake in the morning with both around my neck, I am sure I am just worrying about nothing...

Who knows what is being said, either way, it ain't lurking conversation

What's the official cut-off SPD between lurkers and spammers?

I presume that the official cut off is dependant to some degree on the length of time since registering and the actual time spent spamming, some members only started spamming after 5 months or so of being registered, others started straight away, so I would say the cut off point was about 5.50 SPD
