[Closed] Who is "the OP"

+1 What the OP said ^

Octagonal Pyramid

Oh yes, that reminds me.
When I first got on the internet, I was told never to make "Me too" posts as it just wastes band width.
It seems like people now consider replacing "me too" with "+1" is acceptable.
It is not.

+1 MTG.

"Midlandtrailquestgraham" wastes a lot more bandwidth (bandwidth?) than "OP" ,Midlandtrailquestgraham.

Personally, I love threads like this, but I'm surprised that MidlandTrailquestsGraham couldn't predict that it would 'waste' a whole lot of bandwidth...

Who is "the OP"

Um, you?

I have nothing new to add.

me too +1

Having an unnecessarily long name wastes bandwidth

but obviously +1.

I doubt MidlandTrailquestsGraham is really the OP's name making the point somewhat moot.

If you haven't got the courtesy to reply to someone by name, don't bother.

If you don't have the courtesy to pick a short username that folk can type quickly then don't expect to be called by it.

Besides, OP also refers to Original Post, so it can be used as shorthand to say "Getting back to the question in the original post by MilitantTrailquestionGreg, before we got sidetracked into debating the best type of pie.."

Wow. How to get wound up over nothing in one easy lesson..... 8)

[i]I doubt MidlandTrailquestsGraham is really the OP's name[/i]

Is it just me who's slightly disappointed by this revelation?

anyway, back to the OP;

given most people abbretiate my forum name to www not the wwaw it should be I'm happy to be either of those or OP.

and let's face most people on here are glad of any attention they can get 😉

OP = Original Peter, the early version of PP (peterpoddy) that didnt include as many bells and whistles... it did come with a handy flap for putting your wallet under in wet conditions though.

I see OP and my mind says orthopaedic practitioner. I don't even know if thats a real job!

Isn't it annoying when someone breaks the rules of the internet? 🙄

-1

I disagree.

What's the score now?

Oi. Phil. Outside. Now. Fisticuffs.

😉

LOL actually.... 😆

What's the score now?

+3 to the OP?

I found this anagram:
A rad madman squits thrillage

Whereas OP only results in PO.

Anyone do better?

+1, me too to the OP.

Best take all these pictures of Pussy down pronto or you lot are for the naughty step....

OP makes a lot of sense though; 100 posts into some argument about some triviality vaguely related to the OP and someone says in response to grahams post, it can be quite unclear who graham said or what his opinion was.

OP is quite clear.

Im the OP & so's my wife.

is this thread trolling or just an Obvious P-take

+1 (stoner) +1 (mogrim) +1 (Zulus) +1 (Ho Hum) +1 (kunstler) (it started getting a bit confusing here 😕 ) +3 (?) (Peter Poddy) +1 (boblo) +1 (me) to the OP

double or quits?

if the OP thinks I'm going to type out MidlandTrailquestsGraham instead of OP, he's demented and deluded...

double or quits?

Too tired after that, so quits...

iDave, you've confused me now, who's the OP, MidlandTrailquestGraham or demented and deluded? And when did he change his name?

You are, get over it OP.

Oooops, too late 🙂

OP's run off, big coward.

Dear MidlandTrailquestsGraham

I am writing to tell you how very upset I am about the lack of courtesy shown in you post. If you cannot be bothered to start your post "Dear All" please don't post at all.

Yours Sincerely

avdave

Always think that OP stands for opinionated pr*ck,perhaps in some cases it does 8)

I always thought "OP" refered to the [i]content[/i] of the original post not the [i]poster[/i]

Eg: "getting back to the OP" meaning refering back to the original question/point when a thread has gone of topic.

Either way, I reckon the OP(sic) is trolling.

No that's OT not OP, not to be confused with OTT or OAP.

Anyway, back to the OT, I do actually agree with MGT here, it sort of robs me of my Awesome if you refer to me as OP, I have name, I am TSY.

But there's no point crying over spilt milk, as they say, unless you're a vegan of course... oh.

FFS OP MTFU

I was told never to make "Me too" posts as it just wastes band width.

+1 (stoner) +1 (mogrim) +1 (Zulus) +1 (Ho Hum) +1 (kunstler) (it started getting a bit confusing here ) +3 (?) (Peter Poddy) +1 (boblo) +1 (me) to the OP

I feel that I've been misrepresented. I'd like to express my disagreement once more.

So that'll be -2.

Or -1 x 2.

It is not.

I don't think I have anything to add to what the OP said - so I'll just waste a little bandwidth with a pointless post

SNAFU.

Is a pointless post the same as a blunt post?

no

😆

Yeah it is.

MTG = Canut and I claim my £5.

Make sure you dont double post anything, its a waste of his dial up connection.
Or is he downloading illegally and therefore every little ounce of bandwidth he can get is being used.

MTG.. you are a being a silly billy and you appear from your OP to have had salt on your coco pops this morning..

I suggest that you visit a retirement home this afternoon and hug a nice old lady..

Phil have you just found the internet, LOLCATS are so last year.

Phil have you just found the internet, LOLCATS are so last year.

been on the internet for years, but knowing that lolcats are irritating in so many ways keep me happy 🙂 the fact there's IT bods sitting at their desks squirming each time i post one makes coming on STW worthwhile!

plus there's a lolcat for every situation.

Can we just let this completely and wasteful thread die a natural death? And just how many cats were harmed during the making of this pointless and wasteful thread?

Over Powering ... what's the point?

ok I'm getting confused... can you get a crown race off with an OP then ??

Crown races only come off with the voodoo that is practised at the back of the LBS. You know, that special area that they won't let you see. Where they keep the chisels.

OP makes a lot of sense though; 100 posts into some argument about some triviality vaguely related to the OP and someone says in response to grahams post, it can be quite unclear who graham said or what his opinion was.
OP is quite clear.

If you haven't got the courtesy to reply to someone by name, don't bother.

More or less on the same subject, could people refrain fron shortening names as this is disrespectful too. MilitantTrailquestGraham is not MTG, Surrounded by Zulus is not Zulus, Elfinsafety is not Elfin etc and by trying to be familiar with me by calling me Don simply doesn't wash. The respecrt, while welcome, is not sincere. Mini rant and perpetuation of completely pointless and bandwidth wasting thread complete.

DS+1

Me too Don. +1

by the power of greyskull +2
