Driving A Car And Internet Forums

So I'm driving along yesterday, when it hits me: driving is exactly like navigating an internet forum! Before you yell "Nerd!" and point, listen.

Look at it this way:

-Police are the moderators, enforcing the rules with bans and other punishments

-You can be driving along, trying to get to something meaningful, when some retard cuts right in front of you, derailing the whole trip.

-Stop lights are the breaks between checking replies

-Traffic jams = Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

-Admin? God

-No matter who derails a thread, everyone else blames everyone else

-Fairness and logic are completely useless and unwanted

-Old people have no idea how to do it properly

-kids way too young to be on there are driving everyone else insane

I'll edit this as I think up others.
