So it struck me that it's possible - perhaps even likely - that some of the star characters of the CodeProject are, in fact, really a group sharing a single sign in. A communal species. Than, having already been struck, I began to muse as to whether or not it mattered - so what if some of you are effectively polyps on a virtual jellyfish of intellect. Alas, taking a step back and thinking fractally, I realized that that each forum is really such a collective. The collection of forums is no more, conceptually, than a larger forum. One of many such forums on the internet collective. So, we're all polyps of a vast virtual jellyfish. This far into the post, I don't even care anymore. I'm just going to go home (really) and ingest some IPA, and thereby avoid any further thoughts on this or any other matter.

By the sound of it, you've already ingested something. How long have you had a jellyfish (which aren't fish, or made of jelly - it's a thick, elastic gelatinous material called mesoglea) fixation?

Aw too bad! That's how MS would do it. You must work for them (monotone robot voice). Tell me how many hours will it take me, if I left right now from L.A., to get to Redmond? No? Never been to L.A.? Ok, from Lake Shasta then. Or you're a siren. Siren misspells "Are". Give me a second while I look up THAT joke on Wiki. It wasn't Blenheim. It was ...

That's a delightful analogy ! Indeed: some slimy, some poisonous, some with bioluminiscence, some benign, some avatars, some red-giants approaching extinction, some dwarfs, some on the edge of collapse to black hole, some primed for supernova, some vagrant orphans wandering with no galactic home. For some reason this reminds me of Marcus Aurelius: "What's good for the beehive, is good for the bees." Please tell me more about the chemistry of IPA. Were there any auditory hallucinations ? How hard do you have to be struck (on the head, I assume) before, evidently, potentiating the effect of IPA: below the threshold of concussion, I hope. yours, Bill

I think you have it the wrong way around. In fact CP only has two members - you and Chris me. Chris I has 9,999,999 user ids.
