What a horrible post! Your whole list was filled with things that only geezerly old-timers would know.
You guys are always so mean to newbies!!

Oh yes, I've got one:
"Spit venom. Decide you really, really, really don't like someone and hoard
every post they ever made that you dislike, so that you can jump on every
post they make on the list for the next five years like a wounded bear,
reposting segments of their old posts at every opportunity to prove why
everyone should have contempt for them. And then claim that you hold no
grudges."

But wasn't that covered in #6:
6. Post a compendium of old articles from a thread that died months ago
with a title such as "*** HAS JANE FORGOTTEN HER LIES? ***"
Though I like how you put it better. :)
This is HIGHLA-L. Grudge City. Some of us like it still. :)

There's one that's hawking computers on TV. Another, I believe,
disappeared while floating through the air hanging from a hot-air
balloon. I think one got lost in the Escher Dojo.

John Steinbeck never lived with cats. Their contempt is not
amazed, it is resigned.

roving moderator who spoke to a seated panel of young women who were having
some sort of problem with their boyfriends, apparently because the
boyfriends had all slept with the girlfriends' mothers. Then they brought

Charisma? Nope, can't be that when discussing Dr Anne -
oh yes, "chemistry"...... well I assume she studied it at
college at any rate.
