Just because neredbojias has a weird name does'nt mean he's dumb.

The repetition, I guess. That's what I do in lieu of a sex life.

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.

I did and some guy put it in a book and disseminated it without my
permission. However, I suppose you could say it's a bit like getting
laid vicariously.

Perhaps because of the difference in directional emphasis between the word
"I" and other words like "you" and "they".

As in: "*I* want this" as against "what do *you* want?"

Extrapolate this into web design:

"I code my page like this because *I* like it."
as against
"I code my page like this because I have viewers and *they* might like it."

See the different direction? In this instance I [sic] think it is a case of

"*I* want usenet to work this way."

There is also the reverse of the "you" word as in "*You* should use usenet
the way *I* want it to be used."

<aside>
Of course the word "they" has other uses as well, as a catch all for what
*I* can not do. This is usually accompanied with the word "should" as in:

"*They* should make CSS easier to understand."

"*They* should make browsers all the same so *I* don't have to consider
cross browser compatibility."
Note that this one is a double whammy, it combines the mythical "they" with
the self centric "I".

"*They* should end world famine and ensure everybody has an above average
income" [didn't a certain ex US president say something like that once?]

Nobody can remember how to spell your name so they can fill in the cheque
correctly?

I dunno about vicarious but these days getting laid is serendipitous.

And best stuff is often free. Apache, PHP...
Only thing that costs money when doing website is hosting...

Exactly. He should be counting *all* the words, not just the little ones.
