Satya's Murphy Laws for Blogs and E Forums

  1. Your eagerness to see your post quickly is directly proportional to the time it will take to appear on an E Forum.
  2. The best way to detect your Blog addiction is to look for the symptoms in your family members.
  3. If there is a possibility that you can say something wrong, you will eventually say it.
  4. Making a simple post is not so simple.
  5. If everything seems to be written well, to increase pleasure, you should start reading between the lines.
  6. A totally logical thread mostly ends with the wrong conclusion.
  7. Forum thermodynamics: The more dynamic a poster, the more the thermal generation.
  8. Law of understanding: A post that can be misunderstood will be misunderstood. Corollary: All messages can be misunderstood.
  9. The number of stones thrown at you is directly proportional to the time you spent on the post.
  10. Any resistance to your ideas expressed in your posts is inversely proportional to the ammo left in your head to defend them.
  11. There are two types of Bloggers: Those who post and those who don't.
  12. The simplest of questions asked of a blogger remain unanswered while the ones without easy answers are always answered.
  13. You can learn a little by reading, and a lot by posting.
  14. If your present post feels better, its often because of your previous post.
  15. If you make your post when the thread has become mature or when the posters have tired or both, you will often get away with the last word.
  16. There are always two valid sides to an argument until a member makes a post supporting one side.
  17. The life of a thread is directly proportional to the intensity of protests from other members to the statement in question.
  18. The more passionately a post is made, the more the passion needed to defend it.
  19. When you make your post on one thread, people are always making their posts on the other.
  20. The number of posts in any thread rises in direct proportion to the posters' reliance on quotable sources.
  21. Important posts that ought to be made are not made particularly when members expect them to be made.
  22. Never argue with a poster who has the time to make three posts a day (er, night).
  23. All the good questions have already been asked. What's more, they have already been answered too.
  24. No ignorable post goes ignored.
  25. Satya's dilemma: The more serious I wish to sound, the loonier I do.
