Helmet Research thread a record?

I don't believe it has the breadth of participation. In spite
of the volume there is hardly anybody posting.

For example, I could write a script that posted random text
at intervals (similar to what is happening in the helmet
thread) and it would not count for a record. It was still
a good troll though.

I believe the Peace Themed Jerseys thread is the current
record holder. Two Guns has my vote for the most elegant
troll.

Thread records are cool, but RBR's greatest moment of international glory
was when Andrew Albright got thousands of votes for Time's person of the
year. Although the RBR race kit was pretty cool too. Ken's "Faces" gets
podium as well.

Of course, because it irritates that nit Zuamen so much. And as a bonus,
people like you who don't know how to use the newsreader are irritated as
well.

Well enough to read what I want. I don't spend all my time in here like
some. Too many other fun things in life to be doing.

Well, all you have to do is put the thread on ignore and you don't even have
to know it's there.

The thread doesn't bother me but I didn't want to take the time to even
speed read through parts of it. That's why I asked and Bob said it had very
little substance. I don't ignore any threads completely. I always like to
dabble a little to see if there is anything interesting in it. At this point
I'm thinking you guys just want to set a record. But a better record would
be for one newsgroup only, instead of spanning across several, but there are
records for both. Whatever winds your clock.

Here's the thing with helmet threads - there isn't much to say about them
and the important stuff goes by in about a dozen postings. It is at that
point where Zaumen and/or J. Poulos begin making asses out of themselves and
the rest of us just keep pointing it out to them until they get tired of it.
Zaumen is unusual in that no matter how many times he tells us that he
hasn't read the papers in question, he then turns around and writes, "How do
YOU know what I read?"
