LTE 2.0

[Bostondevil]

Tazawa is Japanese for 'white flag'. I think I'm gonna go make that my Facebook status too.

1041 different knitters have posted in "The Very Longest Thread (aka Fred)". So, just giving you the stats. Let's face it, knitters are hard to beat.

What? What is this thread?

There's a website called Ravelry that's set up for knitters and crocheters to share info on knitting, yarn, patterns, post pictures of their projects, etc. There are also groups formed on this site. In the Completely Arbitrary and Pointless Group, on the discussion board, rests "The Very Longest Thread (aka Fred)". They have us beat. But, to be fair, there are 1041 of them. Knitters are numerous and to be honest, often very geeky. I discovered it one day and reported about it it LTE 1.0. Ymo brings them up occasionally and I go off and check the stats for him. It's this thing we have, right Ymo?

Love the name of the website!

Welcome back, DukePA!! We missed you.

Hope things work out with the lead for the job.

I'll have to tell my wife about that site.

Typical BMW driver. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Q: What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW?

(answer later this AM so I can give a few folks the chance to ponder...) ;)

WHY are you guys beating up on beemer drivers?

A generalization would be that we have watched them weave in and out of traffic with limited use of turn signals at considerably above the posted speed limits for the last couple decades or so with nearly as high and an annoying rate as Mercedes drivers. You and Joe are, of course, exempted from that generalization. (for both of you)

Like I said, I've seen FAR more Acura drivers behaving that way, though I have seen my fair share of BMW and Mercedes drivers. However, the crazy Acura drivers have been by far the worst I've seen as a group.

Yes, strange but true!

He certainly hasn't started waving it himself, not with the lead they spotted him.

We just need to exceed the LTE over yonder. I wonder how much their daily posting traffic in that thread has been impacted by the creation of this place?

I've been dropping in periodically to check. Posting in LTE 1.0 seems to have slowed considerably since our defection. We're steadily gaining on it, about 1% every couple of days...at that rate, we oughtta catch the original just ahead of Halloween.

The curiousity of this is that Audi A4 drivers are the among most often ticketed around. Maybe they behave the same way but aren't as smart about it so get caught?

But then, there were far fewer A4s in NC than I see up here.

Hmm...maybe I should stop posting over there altogether.

And this is post #:

Actually, I think I misfigured this...we'd have to gain on LTE 1.0 by a rate of about 100 posts per day in order to catch it by Halloween. Not that I'm necessarily saying we can't do that...

Well, all in the name of a good cause.

It is unavoidable. It is your destiny...If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed.

Remind me how that ended up.

La-va-bay! La-va-bay! La-va-bay!

Like I said earlier, not enough name chanting around here...

Oh, details.

Very odd, how can a thread have 15 replies but only 2 views?

I assume you're talking about the special characters one. It is that way because the replies all occurred while it was still a tangent of the CTN history thread, and it has only received two views since being split off from that thread.
