People who know the rules for post-grubber points, but try to stretch them to fit their own special situation. Particularly those who reverse a rule, like when 347 would qualify because 3+4=7, but 743 doesn't because there is no rule that says 7=4+3 gets points, so they try to make everybody feel badly for them and hopefully get an instant rules committee meeting, but everybody is tired from last night's fireworks, so nobody cares about the situation, and ignores the request because it is so annoying.

Long posts that seem to go on forever, but they're just vivid descriptions of the situation at hand, described so because without the long winded description of all the gory details, the thread readers would get annoyed at the poster because they could be doing something else, like mowing the lawn, or watching baseball, you know that sort of thing.
