I've seen several bad habits from lesser boards move over here in recent days. Posts that say nothing, such as: "first post!" and "ditto" do naught but take up bandwidth.

If you have something to add, then by all means jump in and say it. If you don't, well, don't.

You probably have anthrax. We all have anthrax! Deal with it.

What do you think about double-posting, first-post-calling, cheerleader-posting anthrax victims who troll?

No prob, jp. I've noticed that all the new pirate tags are very confusing for landlubber users.
