Even POTN thinks its stupid because its too short to be an actual message. ;)

And it's bad coding too ;)

Opinion++ properly increments and is POTN-friendly!

:D

^^^ Haha.

Also, not really lingo, but I hate it when people change the font on their entire post. Really, does it have to be in size 4, bold, pink, italics? Seriously, what's so bad about a nice, black, san-serif font?

This thread is worthless without pictures!

No, it's not. It serves to annoy the graphically oriented.

Haha... I've recently been trudging the "other" forums on POTN, and I see that you long-timers are making fun of certain demographics that stay primarily on equipment sections! This is very entertaining - it's like formation of factions within the Cannonites.

Perhaps there should be a random link to threads like this on the Gear/Lens section so that the equipment section people can see what we're doing. Ha.

If it makes a sudden move let's kill it. ;)

I really, really, really hate "pulled the trigger" when someone says they bought some lenses.

I'm with you on that one too. Along with the similarly themed "bit the bullet".

The bad part about "pulled the trigger" is that it seems to creep into the thread titles too, so even if you don't check the thread, you have to experience reading it if you are scanning the forum. :-P

I think those who pull the trigger should try to bite the bullet. It might solve the problem.
