Assertions likely repeated earlier due to forgetting what was posted as I return to topic. Question as to why anyone render this topic serious or provocative in the first place since [insert theory here] is considered common knowledge at this point OR gratitude to starter for initiating such a though provoking thread and to science members who clarified ambiguities.

Heavy sigh. Expression of feeling misunderstood. Further admission of having no background in the topic and restatement of appeal for explanation. Apologetic comment regarding own ignorance.

Quote from previous post; expression of puzzlement over term used.

Partial quote from previous post; reference to non-G-rated term used on the interwebs for spotlight-seekers as a possible reason for recent posts by previous poster. Expression of hope that that is not the case; statement of desire to read promised news.

Reposting removed ascii art. Some banned words towards a mod who did that.

Expressed hope that promised exciting news will soon be forthcoming.

Reminder of stated purpose of thread. Thoughtless comment maligning particular profession.

Lengthy (quoted from multiple sources) digression about the derivation of the words "auto" and "otto" with irrelevant images, maps, and more videos. All this despite the fact that those words were entirely incidental to the topic of the thread -- which has all but been forgotten by this time.

A further post, adding nothing important, simply to pump up the poster's post count in order to get a more interesting galaxy as a fleetingly rrelated conincidental connection.
