What kind of AZer are you?

[Greg]

Are you a seasonal AZer; only posting here during the ski season? Or do you fanatically post all year long? Perhaps you like to lurk all year, but only post during the ski season? Are you here more for the hiking side, or skiing side, or both equally?

 

[BeanoNYC]

I am a year round poster. Mostly Ski and Misc.

 

[bvibert]

I mostly lurk and post occasionally, usually in the hiking section, in the summer.

In the winter I hybernate.

Seriously, As most of you can tell, I'm mostly a year-round poster in the Skiing/Boarding forum. I like to keep up with the biking, gear, trips, and misc forums too though. Accasionaly I'll poke into the hiking forums. My interest does die off a little at the beginning of the summer, but that only lasts a little while.

Year round poster in skiing and misc. I occasionally lurk in hiking.

I'm the good kind of AZer, in contrast to the Marc kind.

 

[Marc]

Yeah, where is the "useless kind" option?

 

[riverc0il]

year round on the site, generally don't post much in regards to hiking because... well, you really can only discuss putting one foot in front of the other so much. and most hiking i do during the summer is confidential so i can't do TRs.

Year Round, mostly ski, once in awhile, misc., hike, bike. I'd like to post in gear more, but for some reason that never seems to get alot of run here. Once ski season starts and people start coming back to SKIADK I'll post alot there too.

I have found that myself and others included post alot more from spring-fall, helps get thru the offseason.

I think about skiing year round, so I post year round.

Then again, I just joined in December '05, so I guess it's not techincally year round yet. Now I have something to work toward!

 

[Grassi21]

I've poked around almost every category except cycling. But most of my time is spent in ski and misc. I'm flipping through the forums daily and posting almost everyday.

I have found that I and others.
Sorry. "Myself" is the single most annoyingly misused word in America these days, adn it absolutely drives me up a wall. Myself is a reflexive pronoun, and can only be used it you did, indeed, do it to yourself. I drove myself, I poked myself in the eye, I hurt myself. Marc got himself into trouble with the shrew, and you can call either him or me to get more details.

You cannot call myself. Only I can do that.

/end the language nazi

 

[Marc]

Shouldn't it be "I have found that others and I..."

I'm still bugged when someone ends a sentence with a preposition. Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.

"What kind of AZer are you?" OK, lets get one thing straight, I AM AZ! :smash:

Wait, who are you again?

I know I've seen your username before...

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

Did this turn into English 101?

Internet skiing forums; improving grammar and spelling skills since the mid-90's.





Seriously, check out some of my earlier posts. The huge improvement has been almost solely because of chatting on ski forums.


(okay bastards, i bet i messed up somewhere in those three sentences. I don't need to know.:flame

In my thirty-two + years in teaching I found MYSELF constantly annoyed at the misuse of reflexive pronouns by allegedly "educated" individuals. Example" "Myself and the administrative team can assure you that...." I understand ctenidae's pique regarding this error. It just grates on my linguistic sensibilities. I also understand that this forum is not about grammar, and I simply try to ignore such errors and read for content. I still wish that more people would learn the proper usage. BTW the improper usage of "who" for "whom" is actually far more prevalent, but then very few individuals have a clue as to when they are using them incorrectly since grammar is not actually taught anymore as a separate topic. Most individuals go by: "It sounds OK." Of course, if most others around them are making the same error then "OK" is still incorrect.

As to posting; I am here year-round since I joined. It helps me get through the seasons of the year when skiing is not possible.
