Your First PostView Messages“I'm a newbie. Made my first post this morning after discovering TT and was accused of being a Troll. Maybe I am. Terminology is all still new.” 10:14:56 PM 7/30/02 “All newbies here are accused of being trolls, alternate board personalities created just to post aggravation. Violin is suspected of having multiple troll personalities. There are so many that a new name is suspect at first.” 10:17:33 PM 7/30/02 “Your guilty untill you prove yourself innocent. It's kinda like the court system.” 10:23:02 PM 7/30/02 “Thanks Pathman Sounds like fun!” 10:25:43 PM 7/30/02 First Post “Fine, here it is.” 10:26:34 PM 7/30/02 “So I can assume nameless here is a troll.” 10:30:32 PM 7/30/02 “You learn fast-troll until proven otherwise. Most trolls make it obvious from the git go.” 10:33:53 PM 7/30/02 “nameless = Indiana John?” 10:45:20 PM 7/30/02 “Yup, WD, that's what I was thinkin' too. Coop -- of course I knew that! Even though I am technically still a newbie, I can catch most of the subtleties here. ;)” 10:48:00 PM 7/30/02 “Mine was a couple of years ago; I couldn't find a gear thread so I posted to some flame war thread. I wanted to know about boots. BIG MISTAKE Kleety did tell me. "If you want to talk about gear, start a gear thread” and I see things haven't changed much since.” 3:25:32 AM 7/31/02 Indiana John = Troll “Let the flaming begin. Hey, we had to go through it and so will you. That's just the way it's done here.” 9:31:53 AM 7/31/02 “My search resulted in 2067 links. Hmmmmmm... I wonder if I didn't inadevertantly enter "Montanapalooza"...” 9:33:15 AM 7/31/02 “Then I shall burn” 9:34:20 AM 7/31/02 “I search mine and got 1600+. too hard to figure out which was first, they aren't in order by date.” 9:36:34 AM 7/31/02 I am a refugee “from the other place where they believe a trail name must be given by others. So I am....” 9:39:56 AM 7/31/02 “Say, in Indiana do the televise the mugshots of John's?” 9:41:57 AM 7/31/02 “Be gone, oh nameless troll!” 9:42:08 AM 7/31/02 Under various monikers . . . “Feb 1999” 9:44:01 AM 7/31/02 “yes, that's your first post, but when did you have your first stump? mooooaaahaaahahaa! ;-) i'd better stop, i'm very grateful that you didn't change your name!” 9:45:41 AM 7/31/02 “Brings back lots of memories. Too bad the search feature is so messy. Half the results aren't dated, and those that are aren't in chronological order. I know I started posting in late summer or early fall of 2000 but there's no way I could find my first post with the search feature.” 9:47:31 AM 7/31/02 “Welcome Indiana John. This place is like a rowdy bar room, as opposed to others that are like tea rooms, debate clubs or libraries. My grandfather was an Indiana John. John Jacob that is. Born and raised in Terra Haute, left as a young adult with his bride, to seek their fortunes. They ended up in Albuquerque, where they lived the rest of their lives.” 9:48:05 AM 7/31/02 “"Your guilty untill you prove yourself innocent. It's kinda like the court system." walkindude 10:23:02 PM 07/30/02 Except here you don't have to pay your advocate. Self representation rules!” 9:58:04 AM 7/31/02 “Trolling, trolling, over the bounding Main ... We have met the trolls and they are us. (Sorry Pogo!)” 10:04:39 AM 7/31/02 “Pathman, can I post a mug here or do I have to do it through Phil's photos page? If I can post it here, how do I do that?” 10:06:10 AM 7/31/02 “Shoot, if he's posting a pic he's no troll!” 10:08:59 AM 7/31/02 “What if he looks like this?  ”10:12:56 AM 7/31/02 “bitpusher, Thanks for posting my mug!” 10:19:46 AM 7/31/02 “of course, he might look like this:  ”10:21:37 AM 7/31/02 “BWAAAHAHAHAHA!!” 10:22:32 AM 7/31/02 “blech! the first one is WAY better lookin!” 10:29:15 AM 7/31/02 “speaking of good-lookin', it's raddy! what up! ;-)” 10:30:31 AM 7/31/02 “I don't think my first post even exists now. That was a long time ago. Some of the regulars were, Nomad, hikeboy, sierramel lipstickhiker.” 10:31:53 AM 7/31/02 “nuttin', g-baby. jus' chillin' in da crib, on my day off. i'm about to go for a bike ride.” 10:35:07 AM 7/31/02 “aawww, what a lucky bike. HA! i'm just too much today. well, have a good day off! :-)” 10:37:15 AM 7/31/02 “tarpy must be travelin'” 10:45:22 AM 7/31/02 “going crazy, that's about it! he doesn't appreciate my raunchy humor, i have to have SOME outlet... ;-)” 10:49:12 AM 7/31/02 “I could do so much with this, but I'll refrain...” 10:51:32 AM 7/31/02 “AUgust 1997” 10:57:45 AM 7/31/02 Lyra... “Humor?” 10:59:59 AM 7/31/02 “This is my first message on this board. I was hoping to find a group of hiking enthusiasts but so far all I've seen is a bunch of nonsense and whining” 12:11:36 PM 7/31/02 “**sniff, sniff** Is that... trool, I smell?” 12:13:16 PM 7/31/02 “HA! veeerrrry funny, Fritz ;-) oh goody, another ray of sunshine!” 12:21:53 PM 7/31/02 “Because I have posted so infrequently, I have forgotten what I used for my original trail name, but I posted here first back in '98. I remember posting a question about people who have undergone orthoscopic knee surgery and I received some thoughtful responses. I remember a huge, flaming thread between mel and another newbie that kind of turned me off to the whole TT thing. (Although some of the banter was extremely entertaining...kind of like the "ban prowler" thread.) Curiously, I keep returning and have not been sorry...yet.” 2:19:46 PM 7/31/02 lyra “Haven't had my first stump. Are you offering?” 2:27:08 PM 7/31/02 lyra “And if you're offering, what are you offering? Shrooms that grow on a stump?” 2:33:14 PM 7/31/02 “well, i was just noticing that stumps and posts are both wooden things, and that your name implies that you like to "Have" stumps. obviously not a very good joke, tehe! but i wouldn't want to kill your buzz, so have at...  ”2:46:36 PM 7/31/02 I Remember Mine “It was on another page that you answer to a question. The question had something to do about "Dogs On The Trail...", and if I remember correctly, because of our difference of opinion, that was the beginning of Bacpac and my love/hate relationship. Um...for the record, I don't hate you, man!” 6:45:48 PM 7/31/02 “OH MY GODESS! I tried to check the threads, there are well over a thousand posts! I have way too much time on my hands! I love you bunch of nuts.” 10:06:12 PM 7/31/02 lyra “Or is lycra? Actually, I was born with my first stump--"wooden you like to see it?" j/k” 10:38:51 PM 7/31/02 “boo hiss” 11:52:42 PM 7/31/02
