I wouldn't normally reference another forum (apologies to Jim) but I found this post so interesting and funny I wanted to share it with you all. Hit the link to the Modelers Underground forum and go to the HS Follies, A little satire thread.

This treatis on Hyperscale "regulars" is hilarious - and strangely accurate - too. Let us hope to NEVER degenerate to this level of predictability here on armorama.com :-)

Man, that is unbelievable. What the heck does 'n/t' mean anyway?

I was a little unsure on the N/T thing too, although I assumed that is what it meant.

A more universal standard for that is EOM (end of message). We modelers have to be a unique bunch I guess.

(now that I have actually read the post in question)

Too funny. I don't frequent HS at all but it certainly was clever.

My favorite line:

Rodney King
Can't we all just get along?

hehehe

I was glad when that stuff left RMS (still pops up occasionally though). Current fun one is a private IPMS forum that gets e-mailed to me. Heck somedays I have 10+ e-mails of the IPMS guys taking whacks at one another.

I will never be a rivet counter.

The Satire post HS "follies" is a pretty accurate dig at some of the HS personalities,who ever the author is he hit the nail right on the head. :-)

Me too Rob - I turned off that e-mail function because of all the head-whacking that goes on there too. They consider their discussions MORE mature than rms posters!
