Good morning all- This message is intended as a tongue-in-cheek comment
for the vast majority of you, who are good and friendly folks. Have any of
you ever posted a thread/made an inquiry you thought was important, only
to see it get derailed in 2 seconds? I have a solution! The net54 "sandbox":
The net54 sandbox is a safe place to play for posters who simply can't- or
more accurately, won't- stay on point. If you can't resist the urge to hijack
a thread, just come here and vomit out your unnecessary verbiage!
How to tell if you belong in the sandbox:
1) If you have an IQ in the higher double digits or above, it's easy to know.
The first indication is noticing your comment doesn't touch on the
actual topic of a thread. For example, let's say someone posts this
question- "Who was the better 1960s NL pitcher, Gibson or Koufax?"
If the Force is strong in you to reply "Steve Carlton", you belong in
the sandbox! Unsure if you belong? Ask a friend to proofread your reply.
2) if you ever feel like typing "Not to derail the thread, but..." you
absolutely belong in the sandbox.
3) If you are Peter Spaeth or G1911, you have a designated space waiting
for you in the sandbox. Welcome aboard, start building those verbal
sandcastles you enjoy foisting on others!!!
I consider this my good deed of the day. Keep in mind, this is "Off Topic"
sarcasm of the truest kind, off topic commentary about being off topic.
It's not serious at all- for MOST of you
Happy collecting, may you score a great card today! Trent King
