The Art of Sexual Ecstasy - Anand

[cinemanymph]

And who can forget classics such as:

"I like traffic lights except when they're red"

and

"Right. Bananas. How to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. Now you, come at me with thisbanana. Catch! Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless."

[Burgbud]

That's your binary interpretation, Yoda.

You have a flair for the obvious, JarJar.


My choice to respond to an obnoxious poster isn't limited to the single option you want to expouse.

Of course not. You have many choices. A rational person chooses the response which best enables them to achieve their goal. If your goal was to indulge yourself and vent a little then your choice accomplished that. If your goal was to discourage a troll then your choice was wrong.


I've played on usenet for more than a decade...

Well, that explains it. You're a noob. You seem sharp, though, and I'm sure you'll catch on soon.

Man, I remember when AOL opened the Usenet floodgates. Millions of flopping noobs, like fish raining down from heaven. Good times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.


You're hoisting yourself on your own petard, by feeding the troll feeder.

In a big group with a steady influx of clueless newbies, you're absolutely right. In a small group like this that's relatively closed, however, a single "Don't feed the trolls" seems like it might prevent a waterfall of "TS, you need to play nice" responses. Maybe not. Either way, the editing thing is still ridiculous.

Oh, and the greatest Monty Python bit ever can be found at this link:

Any attempt to disagree or debate the matter will only demonstrate a lack of mental fitness on the part of the debater/disagreer.

Wife: Have you got anything without SPAM?
Waitress: Well, there's SPAM egg sausage and SPAM, that's not got much SPAM in it.

I LOVE the spam song.

The ministry of silly walks and grannies from hell come to mind at this juncture.

I've been using computers since 1981, I've never used AOL and I was an ISP for 12 years.

MrsNOP - don't try to play the "I'm the expert" card with me.

Then you know what I'm talking about.


...don't try to play the "I'm the expert" card with me.

Yeah, you hate that don't you? You're really a lot of fun.

This smacks of smug technological elitism. Is there a reason why you need to identify others on the board as technologically subordinate to yourself, Burgbud?

[Lillieperl]

I gotta say it's kind of funny to watch everyone taking everyone else's bait... Like pouring water on an anthill...

Well, it's a slow news day, so why not?

[Burgbud]

Is there a reason why you need to identify others on the board as technologically subordinate to yourself, Burgbud?

Yes. It's my commitment to the truth. I am driven to spread the Gospel of Burgbud. I am master of all I survey. Technologically. WORSHIP ME!

And while you're at it, it might be worth your while to thumb back thru and see where the first appeal to authority came from. Just don't let that interfere with all the chanting and supplicating and general worshipfulness that should be going on.

I must have misplaced my sense of humor. Has anyone seen it?
