Pedestrian solipsism

you may have noticed that this was a discussion thread, involving a childhood anecdote to help with the example

it was not intended to share knowledge or ask a question about a specific thing, just to start a little conversation

hence why no one other than you has tried to flame the thread

you on the other hand asked a series of questions that could all be addressed if you had utfb

how is life at the internet orphanage?

But going by your own comments, could this not have been added to another thread of a similar nature?

Using your own acronyms might give you better insight and that it was not a flame but an observation.

Additional - This seems to be a regular gripe on many forums. Is it one that needs repeating or one that does not be added to but added to a rant thread.
