Anatomy of a Macrumors Forum Thread

You forgot that bit about how the posts get longer and loooonger towards the end and involve just two diehards - since everyone else bailed days ago.

You nailed the "miserable" bit, however.

 

What about when it goes off topic to discuss coffee?

 

Did someone say coffee?

 

I'm drinking some local fair trade, organic, full-city roast with a little half & half and turbinado as we speak. It's changing my life.

 

So basically the same as instant!

 

Lucky enough to be amigos with some roasters, but I'd take instant or even McD's if it were offered to me.

 

Well now you're just being provocative!

 

That's funny you mention McD's being offered to you, ... they were offering free coffee when you ordered a breakfast sandwich not too long ago (at least in my market).

I'm more of a soda fan, though.

 

Hey! Isn't your post off-topic? Weren't we talking about coffee?

 

I heard something about coffee. What's going on?

 

Have a cup and sit down. This is devolving into a good thread! We need a coffee cup icon!

 

Steve would never drink instant coffee.

 

You're holding the mug wrong.

 

Isn't tea where its at now?

 

We absolutely need a coffee icon!

Maybe a whole suite of coffee iconography...cups, brew equipment, beans of different roast levels.....

 

I have an emoji in my TextExpander app ☕

 

So it embeds the image on recognizing a keyword that you've set up?

 

Yep. Though it is a default keyword, which could be changed.

 

No, only organic, hand-picked beans from above the tree zone of the High Altiplano……..

But is it a porcelain or ceramic mug? This is the question which I wish answered.

Within the schools of thought on coffee consumption, a profound schism exists between those who choose to drink from crockery, ceramic, or porcelain and those who prefer to drink their coffee from glassware. In turn, both groups despise those who are content with the disposable and imperfect nature of plastic….

No. Not to those of us who consider ourselves coffee………connoisseurs…...

Ah, yes. This thread has taken on a whole new lease of life…...

Agreed. A seriously good coffee icon.
