I think some people do it cos they don't want people to see exactly how much time they spend in the chat room, like all day from a supposed workplace rolleyes

I am guessing that it is to do with not getting unwanted attention from a particular Orger(s). You know how it is when someone always seems to be online when you are and always posts after you and all that.

Just a guess, though, you can all see my ugly face is in here, I ain't hiding mr.green

Oh yeah and by what I said above I don't mean necessarily that it is because they don't like that person or persons, just that, you know, this Org can get far too intense sometimes and sometimes you just wanna lurk and not get involved in a screaming mad argument over whether the second Siouxsie and the Banshees album was better than some obscure Nitzer Ebb B-side or whatever.


And of course there have been relationships between orgers that haven't worked out and they are still both orging, that's another reason.


Oh and whilst we are at it:


Everyone out there please note:

I DO NOT, NOT NOW, NOT EVER, GIVE EVEN THE MINUTEST FLYING FUCK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE LISTENING TO!!!! mad STOP SHOWING OFF YOU ELITIST FOOKERS!


redface


Sorry!



Ooops, italiced the wrong word edit

Well, of course I didn't mean you, son, you are one of those who does have a canny ear for timeless classics of the 80's, I'm on about those threads where it's just lists and no-one even reads what the person above put. At least you write about your taste with passion - that alone makes it worth reading.


Hey, what am I doing my arse-licking routine for? Geddoutta here!!!!

Noone in particular, I was just generalising. Today it appears to be Pandurito giggle, but often it is someone else, or I am conscious of the fact that I am, inadvertently, following someone around into various threads, which makes me look like a raving mad stalker, which I am not.





I am quite a sane stalker, as stalkers goes.

Exactly, god I don't think for one minute anyone would waste their time following me deliberately lol

That's what I mean though, some people like to be able to see the latest, newest threads without necessarily getting sucked into posting and orgnoting and chatting.
