Haven’t read everything yet, but it looks like a job for… me. 🙂
CozImJewish: PBA - question: am I supposed to EVER take you seriously?? (no idea if this has already been discussed - probably :) )
eftachbchinor: `
Popa- I was wondering if you’d ever respond to anything I say. The impression I always got from reading what you say is that you’re the Big Popa of this place, and your words are usually short n sharp. But I have to say I’m really unimpressed now. `
Here’s the deal: Popa (pronounced puh-puh), full name popa_bar_abba (a play on Abba bar Popa, one of Rav Popa’s sons, who are mentioned at a siyum) is a longtime member of the Coffee Room who fills the role of court jester/troll*-in-residence and is favored by (at least some of) the mods.
(See here, section C.)
You should not take anything he says
seriously unless it is either 1) about halacha or
2) believable and sensible in its context.
Otherwise, it is only a joke.
Popa’s profile is located here:

Clicking on his name will give you a little bit of information as well.
*”Troll” is a term used for someone on the Internet who says or does things not because they mean them sincerely, but only in order to get a reaction from people.

Gotta love these young’uns who either naturally speak in hashtags and/or assume any site that they’re on uses them. Dern kids!
More seriously, “seventh” has been registered since
December 27, 2012 (1 year) but only became active 3 weeks ago.
As the kids say, whatever. (Anyone who’s lurked for a year would
know not to use hashtags, or at least one hopes they would.)
