I Wonder Why?

The abuse of the Most Helpful counter Did you consider it abuse when you were getting all the votes? Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

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
I believe Nish is from India. I am sure this was mentioned in a thread a couple of weeks ago. Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

??? "kiss up" -> what does that mean? slang? Nish
Kiss up, is to apologise, suck up, try to get on the good side of someone. Yes it is slang. Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

Yes, and I even stated as much. To hell with those thin-skinned pillow-biters. - Me, 10/03/2001

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

Thanks! I wasn't trying to be on his good side. But I wanted to apologize for offending him somehow with my nick-name. Somehow, I always find that I unintentionally offend people :-( 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.

"Facing the possibility that I'm simply fed up with the industry as a whole" Man, do I hear that!

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? Just needed something to whine about. Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

It's too late to kiss up. :) To hell with those thin-skinned pillow-biters. - Me, 10/03/2001
Yeah, yeah, you wish pillow biter :P Actually I was trying to sympathise/console, kissing up is not my style. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth :) Ho hum, but the state of the industry still sucks and right now MCCMS (Microsoft Content Management Server) is so seriously hacking me off that I am going to go install Linux on our firewall box again, for a breather. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

Ok I have figured out what is wrong with us malcontent bunch of misfits. You all miss Chris, go on admit it. John posts a whinging post, Michael just tags alone, Nish does his usual, I try and sympathise. If David were here he would be making a Noir version of Silent BOB's movie which results in BOB dying a lonely death, with or without a goat. We have serious Chris deprivation. He will be sorely disapointed in us kids. :-D Well that is my theory anyway regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

It's not the busterboy part that bothers me - it's those damn square brackets. :) To hell with those thin-skinned pillow-biters. - Me, 10/03/2001
Then I will take that bee out of my bonnet post haste. :-D Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

Never apologize - it's a sign of weakness. 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.

> But sometimes I feel better after apologizing, What are you, a girl? Be a man. Stand behind what you say. Deal with the ramifications. 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.

Did I really say that? :rolleyes: - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
