    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

      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?

      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

          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.

                  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 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.

                              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

                              Nish, I dont mean this offensive, but since you mentioned you are from india and you used to hang out in IRC I'll share a story with you. I am friends with a guy from India (who lives in the US) and we (used to) talk a lot on IRC. His handle was "Dark" and his !setinfo was this: <ChanServ> [Dark] <--- *:--) (I had to add the double nose so it wouldnt be replaced with a smiley) Anyways, we always got a good laugh out of that one. __________________________ do { cout << "I will never use = when I mean == " << endl; } while (i = 1)

                                Trivandrum is India's southern most city ... I thought Kanyakumari was the southernmost city. Trivandrum? I though it was Thiruvananthapuram or some such... Maybe I'm ignorant *blames it on the New Delhi pollution* ;P A list is only as strong as its weakest link. - Don Knuth
