Why I don't check in with CPAPTalk anymore

Post by máirtín » Sun Feb 05, 2012 1:22 am

The graphics are pretty.
The layout is seductive.
The content is meaningless.

Does this qualify as a "paradox", or simply a "contradiction".
...other than food...

Both.

By his very act of posting, pointing out that we are without content, máirtín has inadvertently and paradoxically given us the gift of meaningful content.

His task is completed: we now have content, we now have meaning. But this makes his original post instantly contradictory, irrelevant, pointless, and yes . . . meaningless.

Popcorn, anyone?

Is this another "Let's change the format." squawk?

I'm reminded of the old saying "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out."

So, the way I read the OP is that it is a riddle:

Apparently the dude don't check in here anymore (even though he just did) because he now spends all his time at some OTHER forum-- one with pretty graphics, a seductive layout, and meaningless content. And we are now all supposed to guess which forum that is, I guess.

I think I may know which one he means, but I forget the name of it.

Anyway, I hope he enjoys his time there. Many people seem to love it.

Especially all of its moderators.

It used to have meaningful content until the moderators washed it all away.
