    Finally. We have someone we can trust. :laugh:

      He's not - but he was bought on eBay by a "D Trump, Esq." a month or so ago. Allegedly.

      So that's how it works today... What rating did the buyer leave?

      The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

        Link or it didn't happen ;P

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                I've been on the internet for long enough to know that FACTS! are always in upper-case and accompanied by an exclamation mark.

                Slogans aren't solutions.

                          I think the background idea is that it will keep trolls fully occupied, so we can hunt down real news whilst they're trolling each other.

                            In our creative world of ones and zeros, no news is indeed good news (a happy user doesn't gripe). In the real word, no news would be frightening.

And (@DalekDave) you don't want to (@DalekDave) awaken the sleeping beast @DalekDave accidentaly, do you? @DalekDave Does each of these @DalekDave summonings send @DalekDave a separate email? If so, we better stop typing @DalekDave before @DalekDave finds his inbox full.

                                          I'm just wondering if @DalekDave works in a signature... :-D

                                          Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
