Home of the Snarkmaiden

Or, perhaps more directly useful, here's a link to a thread (title:RASFF Etiquette) from mid-2000 that gives perhaps some sense of it, though possibly it's too dependent on familiarity with in-jokes and backstory to be accessible. But it's the thread where I got off my Chinatown/Hamster joke, which I'm still rather pleased with, and does certainly have that cascade-of-wit-and-banter quality which is part of what I'm trying to point at when I gesture wildly at Rassef-that-was.
