You know, I quite enjoy patting other people on the back. I also enjoy being patted on the back. feels all warm and nice. So you know, in accordance with that, I feel only right to include you.
You, Opeth, are by far the best passive-aggressive troll on the forums. No competition. I fully welcome you to put that very sentiment in your sig.
Incidentally, I believe that you weren't really subtle there; you were blatantly ambiguous (oxymoron? perhaps). If you truly have a thing against this type of thread, SAY IT. How, if the op is young and inexperienced, will he possibly learn to not put these threads up if you comment on his ping?
If you don't like these threads, say "nice job and all, but usually we like to refrain from posting this type of thing". As far as I'm concerned, I actually enjoy them; I like to see the accomplishments of my fellow members.
Anyhow, I certainly don't want to turn this into a flame war or anything. That sort of posting bugs me to the core, and I felt a need to assert it. I'm done now.
