Message very annoyed that it wasn't allowed to reveal it's original purpose - oh wait, no that's me when I read MDBMN.

Message exited through the gift shop.

nickelbabe · 28/06/2011 16:24

WTWTA - you post the message therefore you are the poster of the message

verb versus noun.

WTWTA deleted for not making any sense. Wink

WhipMeIndiana - "The medium is the message" is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium embeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived. It's a haunting memory from my days at library school, but I thought it might be relevant to your message's identity crisis.

Actually, it may well have an slightly different application in MN, where the topic where the message is posted influences the way the message is percieved - especially if the topic is AIBU.

oooh I do love a good message deleter! Grin

thumbwitch · 28/06/2011 16:19

Not sending a message, posting a message on a thread. Posting a post on a thread sounds odd too, no? And more ner ner ne-ner ner. Grin

Although I agree there are inconsistencies.

OK - MN self-imploded due to fatal inconsistencies.

Message in a bottle

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 28/06/2011 16:14

thumbwitch, but we have 'op' not 'om'.

People often say 'so why bother to post?' or 'thanks for all the helpful posts' or 'it was posted on a previous page'. Nobody uses 'message' in the same context.

Sending a message is odd, am not sending a message, am posting on a thread.

Also IPOAT not IMOAT.

So ner back atcha.

Grin

(Couldn't give a sod really and today is the first time I have found it odd)

aquavit · 28/06/2011 16:14
