Re: Beautiful Women and How to Attract Them

Also known as: Pointless Threads and How to Avoid Them

It's "off-season" and this time of year threads get kinda dumb, there's not much going on. Most folks are sitting around in the comfort of their homes. Clicking their yosemitenews.info bookmark or googling "Yosemite." For the record, I currently have 9 mandibular digits, 3 more than last week, so it's currently "off-season" for me.

There are some threads in the archives of this forum that are really good, full of information. Summer threads are the business. Winter threads tend to pale in comparison. To make it more confusing, some of us hike 4-seasons. Who knows?

With 9 fingers I can now offer 2 simple suggestions, easy:

1) On some pointless threads, someone links to a good thread, and sometimes that thread get better. Totally cool.

2) Noobs - Read THE BIBLE (We're lucky, we got a good one and if you can't shell out $12.65 & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping don't waste my time!) (affiliate link, anyone?)


But before I go further, I should ask all of you: how could we better manage our information?

To be honest, sometimes I think all this stuff is just served up by computers. Every once in a while, I'll meet an Old Dude. Sure, like they landed a guy on the moon.

I was just looking for a Russian Bride.

Seriously though... Maybe there would be more so-called "good" threads if people would share.
In my case, why do you think I've only posted a few things of 28 backpacking trips so far this year?
And quit putting up route maps?

I know what you are getting at though.

I thought you quit putting up route maps because you didn't want to get blamed if someone got in trouble by biting off more than they could chew trying to follow one of your routes (not all of which are an easy romp in the woods).

In regards to the quality of threads, what I'll say is those who want to improve upon them can do so by contributing their own quality posts to the forum. Those who just "stand on the sidelines" complaining about the threads without contributing anything are part of the problem (and not part of the solution).

In regards to sharing, personally, I think most regular posters on this forum share their experiences about Yosemite often, but that some of us don't nearly visit Yosemite and the Sierra as often as others do.

And in regards to rating threads, I think the software that runs this forum (Phorum) has built-in capability to let its users rate individual threads, posts, and even other users. The rating features just need to be enabled by the administrator of this forum (Rick).

How do you fit in 28 trips a year? I try to make it up there about 3 times a year. I'm about 7 hours away, so it takes me a good part of the day to get there. I'm in awe of the chick-on life style.

Beautiful Women and How to Attract Them: spray yourself liberally with a cologne named "essence of Twinkies"

I have to admit that I would like to see more of Chick-ons posts about his trips (and perhaps--in a perfect world--a reduction in the number of twinkies jokes)

But it seems that a lot of the senior members here tend to participate in terms of answering questions from newbies, rather than starting new threads about topics that are of interest.

Of course, if you've been here long enough, most of the threads have already been discussed...so nothing new to say?

I love Eeks updates from the larger world....
