I have just noticed, a lot of FredBill's post count comes from 3-10 character responses. Not saying it is a bad thing, only that I noticed it.
I don't know. I can't imagine much help coming from 3 - 10 characters though. Like his, 'Lol.' reply above, I'm betting no one really cared if he laughed at my remark or not. I made the remark and didn't care if he laughed or got mad about it.
Yeah plenty of ways in everyday conversations, but not for programming discussions. Most of the conversations here are almost always programming related and 3-10 won't cut it for being helpful.

Will you shut up? FFS. It's become impossible for me to browse these forums for five minutes without having the experience shittied up by the garbage you post.
The social dynamics of the net are a direct consequence of the fact that nobody has yet developed a Remote Strangulation Protocol.
His answer wasn't best for the topic though, so you just showed it would be abused to select non-topic best answers according to the user and not the original poster.
With the amount of trolling involved in these forums, that's a horrible idea. But regardless; participation (or whatever you want to call it) != programming skills.
I have to agree with helios, it's almost impossible to read through a topic without having to go through random, unrelated crap posted by... particular user(s).
That's okay. This 'particular user(s)' is actually leaving the forums. No point in being around since I don't feel comfortable asking questions to get help. Whole reason I went to posting in the Lounge. Now you just have to tend with Fredbill30 and Devonrevenge. It's been fun.
