So please explain how that difference applies in this particular case?

You can’t assume that because he has posted on LUGNET a few times, he is
reading or aware of anything that is going on on LUGNET.
|
I think you can assume that he is aware of whatever he replied to.
|
Conversely, you make my point. If he doesn’t reply to something, we can’t
assume he’s read it, and it would be off his radar, or as I put it, “behind
his back.” Your initial point was, because he posts now and then, he’s
around and aware of what’s going on around here.
|
No, my initial point was because he posts now and then, I THINK he is still
among the populace that reads Lugnet.
|
But you admitted that one doesn’t necessarily follow from the other, so I don’t
know why you’d think THAT.
| |

| |
The only real way
to know if someone is a regular reader is if that person posts often each
week.
|
That’s one way, but not the ONLY way. Real or otherwise.
|
What? Consider my neighbor. Is he a regular reader of LUGNET or not?
|
Why don’t you ask him/her?
|
Why don’t you stop being obtuse and answer the question? I want to know another
way you seem to THINK there is of knowing this information. And by “real”, I
mean beyond seance, Ouija board, tarow cards, etc, and pure speculation.

Sure, there are regular lurkers, but you have no tangible way to
verify that.
|
I was never asked to verify anything - I was simply asked “What makes you
think he is still among the populace that reads LUGNET?” (Note spelling
correction - I don’t think anyone here is a tree.)
|
But they could be a “Forrest”. BTW, populus is latin for people, if you
really want to get pedantic.
|
Thanks, I’ll remember that next time I’m posting at a latin forum.
|
Might help in fastidious forums as well!
| |
| |
| |
| |
Further, merely because LUGNET is a public forum in no way means that the
entire world is privy to what is said in it.
|
Agreed. But irrelevant.
|
Then expain this statement by you: “Well I don’t think Al could get much
more public than Lugnet, do you?”
|
Now you’re starting to sound like Tom - unable to put sentences in context.
|
Actually, that’s a good thing, because Tom was otonspay. (latin variant)
