Sometimes, in my remorseless reach for Orwellian omnipotence, I find myself clicking on the "Who's online" button at the bottom of the forum's main page. This takes me to a page that tells me straight away who's currently reading the forum, and what they're doing. In my occasional wandering into this dank netherworld I've had occasion to observe some frankly baffling and yet curiously widespread behaviour, and it has led me to ask the following question:
Why on earth would anybody want to print a thread on an online forum?
Any information and speculation leading to an answer to this question, however spurious, would appreciated with a fervent gratitude matched in its immensity only by the corresponding smallness of any reward I might be willing to offer.
