Surely for it to be a sport there would have to be some measure of quality involved though. Its not like you can win the marathon by running further than anyone else, you have to do it better (faster). On those grounds, I don't think Nish would be that good. If you took quality / number of posts to be the ruling, there would (i think) be many better posters. -- David Wengier Sonork ID: 100.14177 - Ch00k

How would you measure quality of post ? Can handicaps be given for low bandwidth ? What footwear is acceptable for posting ? Regardz Colin J Davies

If posting was a sport Nish would be a record holder and have several Medals. What do we have to do to get posting included in the Olympics apart from bribing a few officials. Imagine also attending Postamainia 2002, it would be far superior to the silly tech conventions. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

Hey Colin ! I just looked at your bio and see that you are looking for PC demoniac possession. I´ve a good case for ya: I´m leading an OLAP course this week and the next, and everyday, at the same time (10:30am) one of the class room lamps start to move (its one of those hanged in the wall by some wires, it starts to swing at 10:30am). Am I a possessed instructor ? Are my students possessed ? regards M.T. Ritter Lamp Swinger :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 Trank :jig: I've gone sending to outer space, to find another race :jig:

It appears both people and objects can be possessed Mauricio, It might pay to make some crucifixes to pass out to your students to place on there desks, and see if it helps. Where possession becomes a real issue is when lives are endangered by it. Please keep me informed. Regardz Colin J Davies

Dead fluorescent tubes burnt black at both ends light up and stay lit for hours when I enter a room. Computers frozen solid by a SUE come to life when I press Enter (handy, in my profession). I quit noticing or worrying about it years ago. Some got it, some ain't :laugh:

I'm not sure - I've never heard the term. Loafers are usually very comfy, soft shoes that don't require laces. Is that the same as Loungers?
