Subject: Speaking of Excessive Posting ...
The topic of some people posting excessively on this group has
recently come up .

What is excessive posting?  And, how can it be defined?

I can operationally define excessive posting as:

#1 Starting a brand new thread for the explicit purpose of whining. :(
#2 Having 55 posts made to it, by all of the "regular" whiners. :(
#3 Having an offshoot thread being conducted privately on somebodies
blog.
#4 Having the whiny thread come to the attention of one of the
Googlers, who predictably shuts it down.
#5 ALL of which occurs before I am even aware of the whiny thread's
existence. :(

I recommend that all you whiners out there should actually get a
life. :)

On the plus side, at least the blue badges are starting to moderate
this group more closely.

Nope, enough with the negativity.  I know it's either fitting or
ironic given your last sentence but... thread closed.
