Am i the only one to notice "connections" between the posted "question" and the reply "answer".

(see thread: http://www.redhotpawn.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=18932&page=11)

for example:

Q: what gets you 'in the mood'?

A: either the kitchen table or the office photocopier.

Umm, that's the point... The better posts are those which answer the question whilst seeming to offer it to the next thread.

I still think we should analyse it. I went and bought a note book and a new pen specially and now I'm going to make some notes for a bit.

Post.1.by.dfm65.
Analysis of poster: appears deranged, possibly into playing chess., definitely of the male sex.
Analysis of post: Elipsis at the end of first sentence betrays fondness for pornography. Frequent abuse of pornography becomes evident with reference to Buddhist Monks (i.e. trying to change the subject.)
Conclusion: Regular medication and more green vegetables. No more coffee, ever.

Post.2.by.Starrman.
Analysis of poster: appears deranged, possibly into science fiction, definitely has enormous porn collection.
Analysis of post: Post does not comply with reality. 1 edit: obviously addicted to paracetamol. Spelt Christmas with a small c, very interesting. Further analysis required, God willing.
Conclusion: This brave young man will go on to be a pioneering adventurer one day, inventing great theories about women's mood shifts. He will have seven children and die ugly.

Further analysis to follow if I could be bothered. This is getting boring. Ooh... look a window. Never noticed that before.

I think I may have misworded the post, thereby causing confusion. Let me try again.

Imagine a post in the question thread. This post contains a question to the previous post and an answer for the next post. Now, the question must relate to the previous post's answer - this we know.
The answer leads the following poster to form a question. HOWEVER, within that *one* post, the question and the answer need not form a relationship.

Now, they often do - thereby allowing the thread to become a sort of word-association thread.

What can be read into the mind of the poster, based on his thought processes of first coming up with a question and then a (non-related) answer?

Lets look at a post by Starrman (not to pick on anyone, but it was funny!)



Q: What's the quickest way to spice up your sex life?

A: Hamsters are always a great idea


Now, although these do not need to be related, they appear to be (say's something about me that I found a connection...)

No worries Werner, I'm fully aware that you need to belittle others whilst hiding your true fetid visage behind the flimsy mask of your avatar tag 😛

yes. i, for one, usually try to make the Q and A within the one post relevant to each other. As Starrman pointed out, the better posts in the thread generally do this.
