How do you organize your put-downs with regards to the number of posts you make? Lets say you have 20-30 different put-downs and each takes one to two lines of text, e.g. "you apparently haven't worked since the PC was invented", "leave you there in your own little out-of-date pigsty". Would you separate them to different posts or put them in the same post? Is it a good idea to have a lot of smaller put-downs in a post, or combine them?
Thanks,
Daniel

It is not important. The main idea is to socialize. :D

Please learn to wrap your lines :)

to
times. After all, a put-down has to be appropriate (used for someone
well beyond listening to reason), and it should not be too annoying to
other readers. So avoiding repetition is good, as is being witty in
some way. It can be okay to cut-and-paste the same put-down multiple
times in one reply, where the post is just so hopelessly wrong that it
is too much effort to correct. But repeating the same rather dull
put-down in multiple posts is poor style, IMHO.
