Oh stop with the pathetic begging for recommending a thread
A recommendation is earned, not begged for.

1. Thanks - it was clever the first time
Tiresome ever since.

2. Dammit, I can't tell if it would be ironic or not to recommend this thread.
Trapped by my own uber-coolness.

9. It is ironic. However as you realize, I did not ask for it
kicking would be a different matter, though, at least it would stay alive.

10. I didn't reccomend it, for what it's worth.
I will, however, kick it.

14. Recommend it and then hide it
And perhaps throw in an alert.

7. A thread that's on Greatest will have more viewers than one which isn't.

Sometimes, a topic might seem so important you want as many people as possible to see it.

13. Follow-up because it's too late to edit:

unless you're referring to someone begging to Rec's for their own thread. :-)

15. I am talking about those threads, often all CAPS: recomment this thread
if you think, etc. And, yes, mostly on the soon to be departed GDP.

12. Amen!!!! The last threads I read are the ones begging for recommendations and the ones that say
"breaking news" as if it's a message of dire emergency.
