Who Have Too Much Time on Their Hands...

These are things every good row on the fleet list should have a few of --
or else it's just not a good incendiary posting:

• The obligatory posting by the person/office/whatever that set off the current tempest in a teapot that seeks to explain and settle what had been done but inevitably just makes it far, far worse.

• A former or current (or both!) RC of Region XX tries to say something smart or snarky and just kinda comes off as well...dumb.

• A person uses his bully pulpit to announce he'll be praying for all involved.

• The list admin issues an obligatory 'enough already!' post and then gets ignored for a couple of hours by those who just have to get the last word in.

• Someone asks to be unsubscribed from the list. Volume, volume, volume, people!

• A member generally associated with the lunatic fringe of 'fleet starts spinning a conspiracy theory involving the true rulers of 'fleet and whatnot (bonus points for any mention of the Jag!)

• A topic eventually gets derailed by a discussion of food or alcohol or both.

• Chris Wallace posts something on policy.

• People quitting: a. the list, b. their positions c. 'fleet or d. all of the above.

• An ineffectual former chief of staff to the CS pokes his head up from his weasel hole and pontificates about something or the other or takes a potshot at someone of note.

• Someone corrects a partisan on an issue of simple fact, and the partisan accuses them of being a shill for the other guys.

  Beavis: "Dan McGinnis stole money so that he could improve his oceanfront home."

  Butthead: "Dude, you're lying, Dan lives in Illinois. There is no ocean."

  Beavis: "You Danfans make me sick."

• The individual who, despite what side he takes, points out how everyone but him, both sides, is wrong.

• Team Jaguar makes a fun page entry out it!
