Is anyone else fed up with 'lists' threads?

Perhaps it is time for another sub-forum just for the listomaniacs?

I don't really see where you are coming from.  At the moment we are not getting that many 'list' threads.  I've had a look at the top 3 pages and there are only a couple of threads that could be described as 'list' threads in the sense that they ask for examples of something such as "Names of drivers 'contradicting' the brand of car they're driving"  but none are classic 'list' threads like "Your top ten drivers".  If anyone starts a thread like that,  a long-serving forum member generall;y posts a link to a similar thread in the past and says the proverbial "Have you used the 'search' function?"

On another forum, whenever anyone starts a 'list' thread, the moderator asks posters to provide a paragraph justifying their selection.  This sort of works, as one of two things happens : either a discussion develops or the thread withers away as nobody is prepared to go to the trouble of writing anything.

Could you list the threads you mean?

maybe a top 100?

You have to forgive Pete. He's obviously feeling a bit listless at the moment...

Thanks for your considered replies.....  I thought for a moment that I'd accidentally posted this in the Paddock Club Forum!

I wonder if I have contracted listeria? Perhaps I should see a doctor..........

Be careful if you do. There's a long waiting list.

If they are started by a particular person I ignore them as it is usually a waste of time and effort.

Why bother with the doctor - just use listerine

Please add me to that list.

Maybe we should have a list of members who are fed up with list posts?

 For how long they've been telling us it's a temporary "glitch"?

It's gone from temporary glitch to permanent bitch. We need a list!
 

I'm fed up with the slowness of this forum. It's just no fun any longer if you have to wait five seconds for EVERY effing page to load.

For what it's worth, this is not a universal problem. I haven't noticed any slowness at all. Could it be a browser issue? Or your OS?

It's ok with me as well - just looks bloody horrible 

As for lists. Not really my cup of tea, so I try to ignore them.

Pete & Michael F,

I'm sure some of the childish & moronic replies to you complaints are driving you to distraction.

If that's the case, my (free) advice to you is to just relax, lie down in a darkened room & listen to some soothing classical music.

Perhaps something by Franz Liszt.

Hope that helps...

Very good idea. Let's have look at the wine li......   better not say it.

Careful....not too much of that red wine, or you may develop a LIST.[Port or starbord?]

Come on Mods, for the sake of us all - lock it, delete it, forget it. Otherwise this will go on forever.

Maybe the mods aren't LISTening.

Definately Port for me. With some nice runny Stilton....

Your name too vill be on the list...what is your name?

The only list I've done this year was on the LeHavre-Portsmouth Ferry!!!

Dead calm sea but a few bottles fell off the tables.

Yes but then your breath can be a bit pungent.  Time for a little LISTerine?

Doing a head-count?......Would that be a capita list.

Secretly hidden in 'elansprint' is the word 'list'.

Check it twice

That shot was taken 41.3 nautical miles out of Le Havre wasn't it? I recognise that patch of ocean.

One for Lloyd's List, Alan.

Nice one G! I was trying to think of something for that one but couldn't.

If you did it in a friendly way, would you be a socialist?...

Fascinating! Now I'm trying to make up a sentence with 'Philistia' in it.  Oh, I've done it! 

You Philistine!

I've filled and drained the odd Stein

Ohhh.....That explains a everything.

How many steins before you develop a list?

I thought the Costa Concordia had one of the best lists I've seen.  Pity they had to cut it up!

OK, I give up.   Is it the glistening front bumper, perhaps?

Bob's Classics is a specialist in exotic reproductions. They get blisters on their fingers (apologies, Ringo), doing calisthenics, making revivalist-type cars.

Hamish is about to go ballistic.

As is so often the case with threads like this, Monty has the last word.
