          It not a good start for a staff member to have their post declared "Message Automatically Removed". His wings may have now been clipped. Lesson learned ????

          Ueah - Chris learned that he should be more careful that "staff" doesn't = "tard".

            Oh, that's funny! I've been a musician/assistant musical director on one production of West Side Story and a musician on another, but my major in college was theater with an emphasis in lighting design :)

            Mine, too although I ended up as a Production Manager as often as LD. I was working with a guy by the name of David Hersey when we got a grant to get a computer to run our light board. David and I both glommed onto computers bigtime, but he kept using them in his Lighting - so he went on to design Cats, Les Mis, and a bunch of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. I decided I wanted to tell stories with the computer so I ended up doing games. (Back when computer games were about solving puzzles not seeing how fast you could click the fire button.)

                    Only 75%??? I figure it would automatically go to zero points :laugh:

                        I think the most casual examination of events in the world would suggest that God doesn't interfere with evil. A belief in God doesn't require one abandon common sense and expect special protection.

                            Once, again, it was NOT my intention to start a flame war. How did I "insult" indian culture? I find you a complete hypocrite to scold me and then start something controversial in the Lounge when as employee you know better. Or is it because you are an employee you feel entitled?
