    Admit it: You are just trying to get more people to Google the user name.

    I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

          We'd better discuss that offline, this is no Lounge matter.

          Good spot. Do you check all articles for that ?

          No, not all - but you just get a "sense" that some of them are not quite what they purport to be: it can be font, a change in writing style, word choice, or just the images chosen. Or perhaps a eighth sense... Then it's generally a random sentence thrown at Google and "Bingo!" you have the source.

                    Nope, it's the sound of something going by at just above head height... Va-va-voom is the sound of something going by at waist height

                                  Yeah wouldn't recommend clicking Googles "I'm feeling lucky" on that one. Was going to put a warning in my sig. saying don't Google but of course that would just have the opposite effect.

                                  I've been curios for a while now... why did you choose that name? It seems kinda out-of-place on this site.

                                  What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

                                        Oh great, that's the current buzz word around here. Now I will have to stifle a laugh the next time I hear it. Thanks Ravi. :doh:

                                          I'd feel a deep sense of relief if you and DeathByChocolate took yourselves offline, as in to a small island somewhere with no internet connection. Perhaps on Bora Bora, or the like, you could bore yourselves to death.
