Answer - A bomb is really a package of cigars that has been sent to a person unsollicited and unannounced. They are a gift to the person who recieves them. Some people may fear getting this type of a gift.



Maybe I missed the message..

Both question and answer stated above

That wasn't the question.... That was a copy and paste from the FAQ on bombs.. The question was when did bombing become an announced event.

The answer is, when people started announcing bombs.

I've been on the forums for about 8 years or so (predominately here, and before that, CS). I think some bombs have always been announced (since I've been active). Here, I can say that's definitely the case. Organize the Bombs Forum by date in descending order and you'll see "announced bombs" within the first week of CA's creation. I really don't want to go back to the other place to do further research.

Is the percentage of bombs that are announced higher than before? Probably. But to an extent, some bombs have always been announced, here at CA anyway.

I could say more, but I keep deleting what I type...that usually means I shouldn't post it. I urge others to do similarly.

While much of your post is wise, Joel.....this part may be the "wisest".

You're right Tom. I'd rather visit a proctologist in dire need of a manicure.

I'm pretty sure that's saying something right there.
I'm over 40 and have had the checkup, that 'other place' must be horrible.

I've been here a little over 2 years now. I've seen all kinds of crazy bombs/bombings. I love them all.
Just like I love the diversity of people we have here. Some bomb, some don't, some are opinionated and voice it, some aren't. But regardless, they're all good people to me.

I think announcing the bombings became popular when certain members here started cowering in fear of a new skirt fitting.

Good job, Joel. Right on the money, too. As long as I've seen bombs flying, I've seen some of them announced.
