Johnny_Tuff Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Troll. Never trust anyone hailing from "Coloardo." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 yep it's gotta be a troll, nobody would really ask that dumb of a question or would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil K Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Blue it must be, nothing else. Green also, is acceptable. Or red. Yellow and purple also allowed. All you need to know is that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'm not convinced that Mr. Up is either a troll or that he is asking stupid questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Tuff Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Ah, we are now up to two posts for the case that this person is serious and wants advice, but still zero helpful advice. Vive l'internet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The more helpful responses all posted on this identical thread in Newbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Have you seen the other thread, Mr. Tuff? He's getting some advice there. He could be a troll, but I doubt it. Either way, I think it would be good for this board if people could ask questions - even dumb ones - without getting dogged on every time.

Johnny_Tuff Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I dunno. It's not that asking for advice on a rope is inherently dumb; that's a legitimate question. It's just the stuff about it being a toprope, and looking for a used one on eBay, and the person being from "coloardo." Just sounded kind of suspicious, but whatever.
