Why isn't anyone starting any discussions? -------------------------- Eric I still need to learn C++! --------------------------
It usually slows down around this time of night. A few hours from now all the people in GB will wake up and start posting lots of stuff. :)
I went out there, in search of experience,
To taste and to touch and to feel as much
As a man can, before he repents...

Uh oh, I know where this is going... He's already covered firefox that means crazy food recipes are the insight he has left. There was hope back when he was still trying to make home made rolls but once he went hops and dairy things went downhill fast...:laugh:

That's because there's a fine line here between noise and sense of community responsibility. Lace that with a good helping of double-standard (regular and long standing members can get away with most anything, newbies get grilled like steak) and people are careful to post.
I cannot tell if I'm newbie or long standing. I try to post about 50% community responsibility and 50% hell with it I'm on the MIC and I'm going off. I think I get more 5's when I just fire at will than when I try to be responsible but the voting is totally rigged. Dudes in Florida always win regardless.
So if you want some chatter you have a few options. Say something to inspire ire in John Simmons, discover a VS 2005 bug post it here and inspire ire in everyone else or go for the bland "this is my latest flickr moment".
Of course you could always look up peoples last names in a dictionary and try to find a cruel but humorous relationship between what they do for a living and your devious definition then post it here.
Just be careful though. We are a picky lot and will vote you down if we feel like it. But the voting is rigged anyway so who cares.
Tell you what, download the latest copy of AOL then post here and tell all of us what you think of it. That should inspire some comments. :laugh: Combine it with praise for Lotus Notes and you just might become an overnight sensation.:cool:

Those posts irk me, I can’t visit fickr at work (it’s a blocked website) and by the time I get home I forget which post it was that I was going to check out. Besides once I get home I have work to do.

Hey, he wanted some conversation. If I tell him to put a gun to his head and pull the trigger and he does then well... That's his problem. It would certainly inspire a comment or two but if he were to praise Lotus Notes I'm sure there would be a public demand to ban his IP. :laugh:

If he realy ran Notes we wouldn't have to worry about him posting. Recovering from Notes crashs is a full time job. :)

It's kind of a mix of both. You've not been around that long...but you're crazy enough that we all know you. So you're in the middle phase. One of these days you'll just be lumped in with all the rest of the old timers. ;P

-The Wanderer, Johnny Cash & U2Signature Area - Any changes made to the current sig will be savedI figure it like this. If you hide you'll never meet anyone. If you charge in like you are God you'll meet a few and run off the rest. I'm trying to be active and participate while being thoughtful and careful as much as possible when I can say something that will help. My one flaw is that I reply even if I'm tired or hungry. My blood sugar is about as stable as VS 2005 form's designer so I should really eat before replying. I'm also groggy as all heck at the moment and should go to bed. In fact I think I will. I should never post this tired. I'll either be hot-tempered or I'll wax philosophic. Either of which is clearly not me at my best.:sigh:
I like the crazy idea though watching my son at play he has to be getting it from somewhere.:laugh:

Oh by all means. Enjoy!!! Don't hold back anything except the pickles but pile on the onions. Yes, sad to say I'm really wanting a Quizno's Black Angus with extra onions at the moment. :(( But it's bed time...:zzz: So I'll have to wait.:^)

Most probably, because it's Republic Day in India, so it's a holiday there :-) India has the 2nd highest number of members on CP after the US. [mod]at least it was so when the demographics page was last alive[/mod] Regards, Nish

Hey now! I'm pretty sure I used both of them. I think. I'll have to go back and look now but I thought you had two really good ideas and I had the designer work both of them in.:cool:

True enough. I've tended to notice more that you can rate a thread much better by it's participants than anything else. Not their support or objection of it. Just the fact you got their interest in whatever capacity. Unless you are just being stupid. Where can I download a copy of the Univac OS? :)

Without a doubt. I would just be happy to see people be honest rather than see posts about what they think their peers *want* to see. When this happens it's cool.

I tend to post pretty much whatever I think as long as I'm comfortable it's not just noise. I really don't want to be a source of noise. I only apologize when I can tell I was 1 of 2 things. Too hungry or too tired to say anything. My blood sugar doesn't sit well it tends to drop real low. (Swear on my mother's cooking it's true.) I can get downright ignorant and stupid if I'm hungry or too tired. It's mostly hunger that gets me in trouble. I've gotten a few ones for stating my mind. But I gotta come back to a point you made earlier. With a lot of the posts that come in here being pretty poor in quality you don't often feel inspired to speak your mind. To many of them are just plain stupid and replying would be a waste. Every once in a while this place is just plain addictive and the good posts keep coming. I think there's about 20 or so regulars that make this place what it is.

I try to always lace my posts with humor and truth. Just because I said something up above doesn't mean I don't like it. I just notice things here and it's funny. Even if we are a jilted group who cares. The spice of life comes not from what is normal or predictable. So I try to be neither and when I call that out on many here it's not an insult. If I want to insult I'll be way more direct.
