Surprised you remembered that.

This memory loss thing must be contagious. I was sitting here, laughing at all of you for not remembering stuff you posted.


Then I went to another thread and was following links back to some old stuff when I found a post I thought was funny. Then I noticed I had thanked it back then, and I don't even remember posting here back then.

Probably at I thought so I called up the search function and found the posts.

And it turns out that I wrote it. Last year.

I have no memory of this.

That is hilarious, and I can understand. Sort of the same thing has happened to me before, I get into a argument (I mean discussion) and I Google something and I find this great answer, and right before I post a link to it, I realize I wrote it.

Also JoeP, I can imagine a future where nobody gets that reference.

Yeah, kinda like the Neighbor's dog, peeing on the lamp posts and fire hydrants so he knows where he's been.

And, oddly enough, I DO remember that thread.

Here's a pro tip. If you want to be able to find your old posts, even across all forums and comment pages etc etc

Always include a unique phrase that nobody else would ever use. Put it in your tagline, or use invisible ink, or just use it in each post.

Them unlike the fuckheads of the Universe, you can search just using that phrase.

Of course this doesn't work if Google doesn't like your phrase, or some fuckhead moves your excellent contributions to some secret forum, that can't be searched.

Or even more likely, the entire forum has vanished a decade ago.
