"First Post"

I just saw this again tonight and was reminded... what is it with these people who comment "first post" to blog posts, news articles, etc? Ummm... dumb.

At first I saw this on silly and unsubstantial websites and thought that it was just the quality of the readers. But, I have seen it more and more recently. And yes, not on highly intellectual sites or anything, but still. Then tonight I was reading the Facebook Blog about their changes of Terms of Use. And sure, Facebook is a frivolous website, but the blog was about something significant in the way they may continue to run things, and I saw this there. And even if you aren't a fan of Facebook, it has a multi-million count fan base. Hard to ignore.

But back on topic... do you get some prize for replying to an online post by saying "First post"? Even if 3-4 of you all think you are posting first and say the same thing? You all just look like idiots for wasting everyone's time by saying you posted first, when half the time you posted 3rd and didn't know it. WOW... I think you are so special. You must deserve a trophy or something.

Sorry for the sarcasm and cynicism... but when 20 year olds act like 5 year olds, sometimes it gets on my nerves after time.
