    Hello John, I didn't mean to offend you.... I guess you have the right to dislike something without needing a reason.. I shouldn't have asked you, I guess. But since it was my nick,I felt like asking. That's all. I have been using that nick since my IRC chatting days in college. That's why I use it. I also registered my domain under busterboy.org. regards Nish

    I was being sarcastic - you have to pay attention to ALL of the threads on CP in which I might have participated in order to understand some of the references (the current poll about XP where Anders says I hate XP for no reason). You haven't offended me. It's called dry humor ("humour" for you Brits). To hell with those thin-skinned pillow-biters. - Me, 10/03/2001

      Nish, don't worry about apologising. John's hemmarhoids must be playing up. How he can have a problem with BusterBoy while carrying around outlaw programmer I don't know?

                Yup I am from Trivandrum, India. Trivandrum is India's southern most city and is the capital of the state of Kerala. A lot of people think all Indians speak Hindi. Its funny how wrong that can be. Here in Trivandrum the native tongue is 'malayalam'. I know as much hindi as I know greek or spanish. But english is my favorite language. I am a sort of writer too. :-) Nish

                    I just wake up sometimes in a really sour mood. Things that put a burr under my saddle today: - Everybody flailing around over XP - The abuse of the Most Helpful counter - Nish's user ID - The state of the world as a whole - Facing the possibility that I'm simply fed up with the industry as a whole - News media that can't find anything decent to report on There's probably more, but I'm in too bad of a mood to think about it any more.

                              The "or what" part probably applies more since it encompasses an infinitely fluid amount of pure stupidity, where "it sucks" implies that afinite action. I voted "or what". To hell with those thin-skinned pillow-biters. - Me, 10/03/2001

                                    Perhaps it is a sign of weakness. But sometimes I feel better after apologizing, specially when I feel, there was fault on my part. I'll try and keep that in mind anyway :-)

                                      Not true. Had my Chris hit while having that coffee with him yesterday. Anyway Chris has been busy lately and not popping up in the Lounge or Forums much. So I don't think I have kind of addiction at all. ;P Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself.

                                          Perhaps it is a sign of weakness. But sometimes I feel better after apologizing, specially when I feel, there was fault on my part. I'll try and keep that in mind anyway :-)

I say a lot of stupid stuff (even here), but I never retract anything. I said it - it's out there - I deal with it. I will admit when I'm wrong, but I won't apologize for anything I say. I can get away with it though, because I'm generally considered an asshole. :) Little piece of advice from your Uncle John - being mean and ornery keeps the bozos at a respectable distance, thus making life much more pleasant. To hell with those thin-skinned pillow-biters. - Me, 10/03/2001
