hail Sterling! Thank god for Jim Sterling!

Yes Jim does indeed live in the US. One episode of Jimquisition he professed to being a British born atheist living in Mississippi. That must be rough!
Throw in bisexual while you're at it. I don't know how he does it. Quite possibly because we all thanked God for him.

Erm, yes they are...
In a very literal sense they aren't. A line starting in any part of the US and going straight through the exact center of the planet would not come out in Australia.

Jim is secretly Yahtzee in a fat suit.
Alternatively, Yahtzee is Jim after losing weight over the weekend, every week.
You're both wrong. Jim/Ben are different faces of a Time Lord along different points in his lifespan. Obviously.

This is canon now.

So... if Jim and Yahtzee ever go off the rails and become terrible, we can blame Moffat?

No, they're on opposite sides of the most commonly used world map. If they were on opposite sides of the actual planet, they would be as close to each other going west as going east. They're not. Look up an antipodes map.
You have made 52 posts since you've been here. I'm pretty sure you know how to quote by now. Please do it.


And on that note, what does this have anything to do with Austrailia and the US (nevermind the fact that Jim is Britian, but not currently living there anymore.) in regards to the conversation?

Why would I quote a post when it's already obvious what I'm responding to? Don't say "because then it doesn't get a response notification", because all those notifications do is make sure no one reads entire topics anymore.

You accuse me of going off-topic, but you're derailing the thread yourself to confront me about it. I was barely going off-topic anyway, since I was responding to one of the OP's suggested "opposites" between Jim and Yahtzee. He said that the former lives in the US and the latter in Australia, and that those are "literally on the opposite end of the Earth". I disagreed with that last part.

I assume you mean Jim is British. I would just like to remind you that so is Yahtzee.

How in the world does notifications ensure that nobody is reading the topic anymore?

Because people will only respond to the post that quotes them without reading the rest of the topic, obviously. But that clearly wasn't the point I was trying to make.

Juuust barely though, if you started in easternmost point of the United States, in the US Virgin Islands, and drilled strait through the earth, you would arrive at a location less than 150 miles from the coast of Australia.

You probably wouldn't be having this issue if you quoted people in your responses, like everyone else, or do you think people will keep revisiting this thread throughout their day to see if anyone new has posted in it?

Well, I've always assumed they were birds of a feather, [secretly] making sweet sweet love poetry together...

I don't see the point in quoting when I'm responding to A) the OP, which everyone is supposed to have read, or B) the post that's right above my reply. If that means that "hit-and-run" posters miss my responses sometimes, I'm totally fine with that.
As you can tell by my join date compared to my post count, I'm not the type of user who just hops from topic to topic trying to get my opinion in everywhere. The fact that "everyone else" posts in a certain way doesn't concern me in the slightest.

The quoting does help create this train of discussion, even if you are talking to the previous post. Posts without quotes are basicly directed at the OP while quoted posts are to add discussion (or agree) to someone elses post.

Its how it usually goes around here

It's not merely convention to quote people, it's the practical way of letting people know who you're directing your comment at. If you want to be a free spirit and do things your own way then fine, but don't expect people you respond to to ever reply back, because odds are they haven't even seen your post, and don't get upset if people assume your comment is directed at OP rather than the post directly above yours.

What happens if somebody (or more than one) posts in the mean time? The forums are fairly busy, it's not really hard to happen, especially if you go into a more popular thread.
