So, there is a distinction between submitters and posters? Jackie?




Yes, Aramis11, there is. Submitters are the crème de la crème, the oint in the ointment, the keepers of the keys.


While posters (spit) are shiftless and no-count. A bad lot who rob the jail of tenants and feed at the public trough.


I am proud to be a Submitter among Submitters - my rightful place.

Now, now, BranShe. You wouldn't want a passel of new posters who didn't understand the subtleties of humor, now would you?

(Mmm? "passel of new posters" That's good, Milo. That's very, very good.

Oh , my... a wordtest as well!

passel:

(regional) large group or amount: a fairly large group or amount.

Now that I've sorted this out with the help of the one-look friend , do you think I could still join the next time?
I mean the cream of the cream?

Milo, you old Christmas turkey, you.

In the context of this discussion, a poster is anyone who makes a post to any thread on this board. A submitter is someone who submits a daffynition for the Hogwash® word.

That's right. And I don't want to take this to the limit, but is there any confirmed relation between beeing shy and hesitating and having lack of humor?

there is a distinction between submitters and posters? You bet there is: a poster is a large piece of paper that you put up on your wall.
Thanks, A, for giving me the opportunity to air my grievance once again! :-)

Well, sorry about nagging on over something not that serious. How many days does this voting last? I really read those rules over a few times , but I did not find the answer. Anyone would/could tell,thanks a lot?

Normally a week, but in practice it will wait till all the submitters have voted.
