Paranoia

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Do any other Heartlanders ever sometimes get the feeling that only they are genuine posters, and that every other user doesn't physically exist?

I mean, every other heartlander could simply be one person (Quiff boy? conducting some sort of cruel social experiment?) or perhaps they are the automated responses of some rogue computer somewhere?

No? just me, then

I've seen EricSweden, Eva and Christian... but can't see them here anymore :urff:
OK, at least Scardwel is quite often here and I can confirm he really exists :)
Well, sometimes I get some lovely surprise from my post-office but have never seen those mysterious senders. Or only pics. But they can be fabrications. Maybe all those boots are sent by... :von:

Well I certainly hope I do exist as an independent free-thinking entity anyway, but now you've only gone and gotten me worried. I shall be pinching myself - hard - just to make sure.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

markfiend, what program(s) did you use to create your all singing, all dancing avatar Photoshop and ImageReady perchance?

Indeed. How did you guess?

I do find it strange that users appear and then just when the cyber relationship is starting to kick in ... they disappear. Move to American. Decide to concentrate on work. Get a life etc etc. Maybe QB can't juggle more than 300 users names at the same time?

And lo and behold, old user disappears and new user appears. The evolution of Heartland. Boosts the membership tally as least.

Personally I think I do exist. In reality. However I would not expect any response to this post as I've noticed that only the pseudo users respond to each other. Must be some programme running behind the scenes.

And pikkrong exists. Even I can't imagine QB flying all the way to Estonia, purchasing a 'pisipakk' (I just love that word!) and posting Hull Dingwalls '83. :urff:
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

You were correct the first time - we are all figments of your imagination.

Yes, that means it is all your fault. All of it.

Are you sorry?













And I have it on good authority that QB cannot juggle at all.

And Pikkrong must be real. No one could make that up. :wink:
