It's usually boring around here on the weekends, not, of course, that I am suggesting that anyone anywhere would actually spend otherwise productive work time during the week by posting here. Heaven forfend!
WWH is a retired doctor whose eyesight has deteriorated to the point that he can no longer participate actively. He does use a special optical device to at least read and hopefully respond to IMs. Those of us who have been around here a long time miss him a lot. He and Jackie are particularly close, I believe.
I actually think WWH'ss ribaldry exceeds mine, which is saying something!

I did not mean it to offend anyone by using his User Name, I was just providing some info that I was surprised to see. I thought that one fact about the 3750 users who have never posted was really mind boggling that so many people joined and never posted. Reason for the other facts were just fillers, as I though just one fact would be just to small, so I added a few others and the last one was just the fact that I had to be bored to find all that. I am sorry for WWH, hopefully reading isn't his favorite hobby otherwise it would be almost unbearable. Reminds me of the Twilight Zone where this man who worked as a bank teller loved reading, and everyone thought it was a waste of time. Im sure you know which one I speak of, it is a very famous one. And as life screams at us when we are born, "It's not fair."
Also I didn't mean that its boring here, I am new, there could be tons of posts I could read up on. Although it might be somthing I might want to post somthing and that I wouldn't because it's been finished before, and ole'timers might ignore it anyhow. I was bored because Im at home with nothing to do. I'm still a student in a average Lower-Middle class High School and the teaches as you may think are spread out from good to less average. Mainly because they have to deal with the sorta kids that live here. I am not blaming it on them as it sounds, I did my fair-share of undermining the teacher as well.
To keep the post's subject intact as much as possible, why do you think so many people joined and never posted? Do you think they found it boring? Or because they thought they would have nothing to say? Maybe even just never had time and forgot about it.

Hi Ari,
I think people register their when they come to see what this site is about.
If it doesn't suit their fancy, they just don't post.

I also think that we can be a bit intimidating. If someone registered during one of the hot times, they would certianly not want to join a board in such turmoil. Even when there is not a flame war going on, there can be shortness, sharpness, hypercriticality, crabby mutterings, impatience, intolerance and other bad habits demonstrated, particularly to noobs. Why risk it?

cer - tian - ly
cer = an emotional response that has been acquired by conditioning.
tian = 1. household French gratin dish: a square or rectangular French casserole dish originally used for baking foods au gratin; 2. food dish baked in tian: a dish that is baked in a tian [Mid-20th century. Via Provençal < Greek tēganon "frying pan"]
ly = adverbial suffix.
Therefor, as anybody but that ignoramus eta would know, "certianly" means an action conditioned by an emotional response produced by being cooked in a French gratin dish.

When the tomb of Tut Ankh Amen was opened by the Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter, they found foodstuffs which were provided to the king for his journey through the underworld. There was an inlaid ivory tray on which the dusty remains of what had likely been wheat crackers had disintegrated, a silver knife and a perfectly-preserved jar of Cheez Whiz ... which they ate.

Yeahbut®, they're 98% fat-free. Of course, they're also 100% flavour-free, but that's by the by.

Was it a glass jar or a plastic jar? Either way it must of been awful crunchy.

The Cheez Whiz god goes around calling out for Stars cereal or Campbell's Tomato.
Cheez Whiz cries, "Soup or Stars."

I'd say the tomato's would have answered the call. The cereal's always running from Paparazzi, the angel who was cast down to the fiery depths of planet Cheez, by Cheez. He tried making Cheez that you didn't have to Whiz, and this was forbidden, for if you didn't Whiz, the Cheez people couldn't be 'cheezfull' and populate the planet. The act of Cheezing, the God of Cheez, and planet Cheez are all in the same. All found in the Cheezible, Prohet Little Whiz 3:35, "Then our Lord said before us, "You must be cheezful and populate Cheez by Whizzing. But do not Whiz on Cheez, for it is wrong."
.... I need help don't I?
