Pepper And Salt (Seasoned Greetings) to all our readers - the Xmas FAQ
John L. Sielke wrote: Pierian Spring of Very Dull Water wrote: snip and the baying hounds replied: snip snip etc another snip What amazes me is that every time this "faq" is sent to the newsgroups, the same idiots respond to it, and get into a flame war. When it dies down, it only requires the repeat of the same message to get the same idiots stirred up again. Sort of a Pavlovian response. I guess for some, it might be fun to watch dumb animals drool. Maybe it's a UK thing...... The thing you need to bear in mind is that of the current 55 messages in that thread, no less than 23 - not far short of half of the total - were in fact posted by the OP. Some of these involve him posting - or barking - replies to himself. I wasn't aware that Pavlov had trained his dogs to drool at their own barking. But the chap concerned claims a qualification in psychology, so perhaps he could name this phenomenon for us. from Aero Spike |
