The real waste of bandwidth is those people who say "first" in the Daily Puzzles.

I would write a comment that actually has to do with the puzzle, rather than "first".

Besides, those four posts summarizing the "first"s of the past two months or so couldn't have used that much up.

Funny thing is about these off topic things, only your friends can see the threads.

I don't know, it just seems like people's IQ's go down when they post on the internet.

I don't know why, but some people must base their entire self-worth on making sure that everybody knows they had the first post on an internet webpage.  I can just imagine them setting their alarm clock for 4 AM so they can get up in time to log on and keep refreshing their browser until it's time to make the first comment, which, even though everyone in the world with an online connection can see that they made the first comment, they think it's imperitive that the sole content of their post is "First!"  It's also inevitable that someone will be posting "First!" 2 or 3 posts down the line.

NSFW language.

Oh, and "First!"

What do ya know, today's puzzle also featured "first" as the first reply.

Another thing I don't understand is people quoting dailypuzzle in these.
