no offense...
but, sort of a dumb thread....
anyone agree?
there seem to be a lot of these going around lately. they usually start with "LOL" or "OMG" followed by a question that has been addressed ad nauseum. as much as i love this message board, i find myself not posting as often just because there's too much OMG's and LOL's going on around here, and not enough discussion.

but then again, there really isn't too much to talk about any more. the only thing that we do not have yet is plan info (which is useful) and the phone itself which is, of course, very useful.

I agree. Even threads that start with decent content get cluttered with noise. The signal to noise ratio on this board seems to be getting worse.

The kids have so much to say, yet make no tangible contribution to the knowledge of the board. This is a discussion board about the iPhone. Not Twitter.

I would encourage the mods to be more pro-active. Quantity of posts does not create quality. And lately it reads like the work of 1000 monkeys on typewriters...

yeah...that kind of sums it up for me. don't get me wrong, this board definitely needs some levity and joking, but not on the scale that it's currently at.

the "not twitter" comment describes it in a nutshell...sentences are written with no real purpose or objective...they're written just to be written.

the generational gap that has surfaced here as of late is definitely a contributing factor.

Yeah, but what do they say about monkeys and typewriters?

Give enough monkeys enough time on typewriters and eventually one of them will write Hamlet.

Give everyone a break. I mean what's there to talk about that's not already been said? We're all just here killing time until next Friday. Even the Bard himself would be lacking for a thing to say in this situation. :)

I say something of substance, and you tell me to give you a break.

Fine. Continue twittering. I'm outta here.

Wasn't my intent to offend. Just saying that people are here killing time.

I wanna touch it too. I had a dream that it was launch day and I had the iPhone and I paid one of the employees $20 for the iPhone poster hanging in the window.(notrelatedtothread)
