Padding Posts, Mags, is an art... it's not just about posting LOL or Cool after every post (although that is a technique used by inexperienced members).
The art of post padding is creating a post that is completely useless but at the same time totally fascinating. True artists also leave some points unfinished in order to allow fellow post padders to practise their skills too.

Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

I would also concur on your statement Trip. May I also say that while Adept's army of post padders, of which I am a card carrying member, , do practice an occasional post pad, I really believe Confus-ed to be the leader, General, King of the post pad. His way of semi-answering a question, forcing the questioneer to post again, which ultimately leads to multiple posts by himself, elevates him to King of the post padders.

Well ...er...don't mind me, just chat amongst yourselves about post padding and whatever .. I'm gonna stick with Women of the Prehistoric Planet. I didn't study what they really were, but they had no computers, maybe they sewed and knitted and painted and wrote poetry? Have been at a Craft Evening ... am sure no-one's listening to this .. and women everywhere, the odd man, well I don't mean odd men, I mean odd men, wandering around. Cards, silk painting .. no-one's reading this so I can pad on a bit more .. girls singing, playing instruments, me doing a poetry performance and being applauded .. I'll get no claps for this Prehistoric Planet Pad.

Post away! Most of us will tollerate a high degree of perversity. CRAP!! I meant DIVERSITY. The same kind of Fruedian slip I recently experienced with my wife. I said, " God! You're annoying!" when I meant to say, "Please pass the marmalade, my love". Still explaining this to her attorney. OK, sometimes I'm chatty.

Also Mags, while we are on the subject, I think the claps is caused by a recently evolved bacterium, and Prehistoric Women weren't ravaged by the disease. Only by sabertooths, Mastodons, Mammoths, enemy tribes, and their immediate family if they lived in Arkansas or West Virginia.

Now there you go, your first step to a truely creative post pad... in order to improve your technique, may I suggest that the Women of the Prehistoric Planet be explained a little more - enough to tease some interest in the subject from fellow WOTPP members?

Hi Mayet, thanks for the welcome, I clicked on your link and erm... some items were most interesting ..
Slgrieb, you obviously know a great about a great deal, except the marmalade!
NooNoo, oh, creative padding, goodness me, good job I don't have time, I once rattled off a 2,000 word article before church one Sunday, editor said it was too long!
Explain more about the Women of the Prehistoric Planet? Don't have time at the moment, as off to a Rock n Roll Gig at 8.15 and dunno what to wear yet! Been setting up laptop, finally it's almost manageable and back in it's box. Can't do a thing with this PC yet, wait til Ellie's kids are back at school and I've got this week over.
Now the point is, were the Women Prehistoric or was it the Planet that was Prehistoric?

I doubt there'll be any interest now, because the rush has died down.. not that there was a rush, does anyone rush in Computer-land? Anyway, the Women of the Prehistoric ... where were we? .... Planet, of course had no computers. So they wrote letters with quill pens made from the birds who were walking around and they gave their letters to friends to go and deliver ... and it had to be a Monday.
One never delivered one's own letters, if one did so, then one may as well not have written a letter .. the friends were called .....
