Default Most Annoying 997 Thread Poll

I think everyone can name certain types of threads that they find annoying... including quite possibly this very thread!

I put together a short list of repititious threads and thought it would be fun to see which is 'most annoying.'

Please realize that this poll is not meant to poke fun at anyone,...it's meant to poke fun at EVERYONE! Let's be serious, most of us have contributed to the annoying thread list at least once or a few hundred times or so.

Remember, just like yesterday (in the US),...your vote counts!

OC Ben must certainly have a contribution here. He can recognize a previously discussed topic better than I recognize my mother.

C'mon Ben...

Okay, I'll bite.

The most annoying threads -- and only because of the controversy and animosity they tend to generate -- are those of the 'Vette vs 911 variety.

Most of those were started by Marcel, but now that he's gone Marceau on us (thank God) it hasn't been too annoying here lately.

Re-writing history are we Ben? Making it up as we go along are we? I remember one of my very early non-controversial posts here how shocked I was by the "annoying" vicious lambasting I received from you about not being a member.

So I'd say most of the annoying twists and turns of any posts here were generated by you. Of course you apologies later really made a big difference.

Good Bye.

Marcel D. !!!!

You happened to poke your head in here and saw a thread about "most annoying threads" and you figured someone would surely mention you by name.

Don't be such a stranger. We welcome you back to the fold!

Black/Terra posts were nauseating. They were BY FAR the most annoying.

Marcel, welcome back.
