Very. You'd get fewer hits by changing the title to "Twenty-Five Guaranteed Ways to Defeat Asmala in PBW." Titles like "Please Ignore This"/"Oops"/"This Doesn't Exist"/"Please Delete"/"Thread Sucked into a Black Hole" are simply begging for a response.

Mad Romanian? He's just a simple "mad"????? That's like saying the ocean is "wet"! We must defeat him! He's responsible for this whole "Let's not build anything in Avalon this month" fiasco��he's the Construction Minister, is he not? Hmmm? Well?

I don't think narf was around at the begining of the Ruath thread.

Sometimes I will put a folder out on a shared drive "Do not look in here" and wait for people to cal me and tell me about it. Sometimes I will put Word documents in there with hidden text or Latin I copied from the web.

For those who have no clue what he's referring to, here's a sample.

It should come as no surprise to the reader that, as Pel prepared to take his leave of Khaavren, there were other activities occurring in other parts of what had once been the Empire. This is because of that phenomenon of history called "simultaneity," which avers that events do not always happen in a neat orderly manner, one after the other; but rather that many things can happen at the same time. Thus, for example, during the Eleventh Issola Reign, while in Dragaera City the Baron of Karris was preparing an expedition to venture into the eastern jungles in search of exotic birds, at that same moment, in the desert of Suntra a caravan of traders was forming that, on their way to the port city of Adrilankha, would be passing through the jungle; and it was in this way that there came the fateful meeting between Ricci of Longgarden and Nessa of Kobi that resulted, some few years later, in the Battle Beneath the Hills and the subsequent rise to power of the Chreotha who became the Empress Synna the Fourth. This is just one example out of thousands of the phenomenon of simultaneity, and serves to point out one of the difficulties in writing-- and, consequently, reading-- history: that is, while historical events of significance are inclined to happen at the same time, it is nevertheless obvious that they can be treated by the historian only one at a time, as if they had happened sequentially. Hence, the writing of history is bound to introduce certain inaccuracies, and the reading of history is bound to produce certain misconceptions. It is the hope of the author that these inaccuracies and misconceptions can be held to a minimum by the expedient of making the reader aware of this circumstance, which we have just endeavored to do by our discussion of simultaneity, which, now that it has been made, can be set aside as we turn our attention to an example of this phenomenon of more direct moment to our particular history than the events, thousands of years in the past, when the birdwatcher met the game hunter.
