first
Anyone else noticed this annoying/immature practice of people either racing to be the first response to a message board post or a news article that allows comments by only writing the word "first"?

I first noticed it on Slashdot, but I'm not sure it started there.

Seems most prevalent on newspaper blogs & websites, although certainly not limited to there either.

Yes. I too find it important to figure out who was the first to do that stupid thing. |

Agreed. This is a net peeve of mine. (not sure if that's a real term, but it just sprung to mind as I was writing it) |

I have no idea what kind of person finds the enjoyment of doing that greater than the annoyance of having to remember to do it if the opportunity presents itself.

I think it started in this thread, actually. It seems to be so prevalent in this particular thread, in fact, that the OP did it himself. Bizarre indeed.

This does not effect 70-80% of the threads I have started at FOFC, which usually go 24 hours before anyone posts anything in them.
