He got banned, IIRC, although it was for something else, not the post habits.

Anyway, from that, we started to say "dola" at the start of a new post where we were the last post prior to that. Kinda like short for "my apologies, I am pulling a Dolamite".

We also use tri- or triple dola and so forth, or point out when someone broke up our dola attempt by posting while we were typing the dola post.

I remember he was already gone before I came along, so this was a good 15+ years ago, btw!
