The right move all around. As far as "2020" goes, I can imagine the tons and tons of signs, pamphlets, tickets, web designs, and stuff that have already been created.
And I knew, without even looking, that there would be a tie in between the zeroes in "2020" and the "O's" in the Olympic rings. But once I did look, I immediately found an example: How much money went into designing that beauty, do you think?

You know, technically, and yes, people are anal like that, not that I am, no, no-no... but technically the games are not the 2020 Olympics anyway. They are the Games of the XXXII Olympiad, a 4-year cycle that began on January 1, 2020, and will last until December 31, 2023; the ancient Greeks actually did use the 4-year cycles as calendar epochs.
So, 2023, huh? So there's still some cushion involved in this shebang...

I'll not quote you as youd love that cobra seeing what you wrote but sheesh give it a rest, one post was about a country not sending a team, the other was about an event being postponed. It's a bit like moaning theres a separate Mets and Yankees thread, I mean there both about baseball even baseball in the same city.

Hmm, all I see in these off-topic forums is you follow Cobra around and harass him every time he says something. Maybe I'm missing out on an inside joke? Do you two know each other personally and you're just being funny? Or are you really just an a-hole? Just curious.

3 of the first 4 threads in the forum were started by this poster And 7 of the first 10 Being an a-hole is only one of the many roles I'm capable of playing Quote:
But, you know, wouldn't want anyone to be misled if they came to these boards looking for information about Canada's involvement in the 2020 Olympics. |

I did a search on it now, and I have indeed never used "lovely", not even in conjunction with something like "lovely meltdown! [garbled]-head Diaz!!!" ... and in fact, the only time I used "love" in the thread was with regards to the Raccoons. And then used in the negative.

I suppose if a someone has a problem with the frequency of threads started by a specific poster, they could simply move on whenever they see a post started by that specific poster.
Personally, I get probably a third of my sports headlines from the frequent poster in question. No complaints at all. Sometimes the poster in question posts stuff I'm very interested in. Other times, not so much. Either way, cool, and my life moves on without the need for petty snipes. YMMV. |

If I am correct, let me echo appreciation for CM's enthusiasm - he helps keep this board lively - as well as getting "a third of my sports headlines from the frequent poster in question." Probably more, since I come here first. Another third comes from other people posting sports news here, so thanks to them, too!
