I wanted to start a thread for short quick questions that really don't require a whole thread of their own.

    I'll go first!

    How come when I post there is no white space below my last line while other people's posts have a big white empty space?

    I assume they are hitting enter a bunch of times.

    Why?

    Yes, you have to make the spacing at the end. Why people do so is so the post and sig file doesn't get lost in the print - makes it stand out.

            For you, Alexa, the answer is thither and nonce.

        Problem is, I don't recall ever having sex with my keys...Although some of them do have a reputation for turning things on.

      Some threads don't raise your post count. Off Topic is one of those threads. I am not sure of the others.

      FWIW don't worry about post counts. Just hang out. Learn, learn, learn. Help where you can. Have some fun. Your numbers will grow quickly enough.

        Post counts do not increase in the Off Topic Forum, the WSO Forum nor the Test Forum.

      I actually feel the answer usually lies in the obvious but we have a tendency to look for more complicated solutions.

        Yeah I think that is one of those concepts that can go either way depending on the situation. The skill is to know the difference.

    Here's my next question, it's a little longer than short to make up for my first question which was a little shorter than short...

    Why do people get upset when they find out the answer they wanted to hear is not the right answer but is instead the answer they need to hear even though they don't want to hear it even though it will help them and they pretend to want to be helped but act like they don't want to be helped when they hear the answer they didn't want to hear so they have a fit when the help they get doesn't look like the help they wanted or expected even though they haven't had any ice cream today?
