Am I getting the AG style down, yet? /p

It's funny, really. For me, the main advantage of the internet, as a communication format, is the removal of superficial aspects of our physical person, IE age, sex, race, location, appearance, socio-economic status, etc.

On the internet, and specifically in pure text, you are a disembodied intellectual entity. The text is not as nuanced as natural speech, but the trade off is that the format functions as an equalizer of people.

So, it's always funny to me when people refer to age on the internet. Back at AudioGalaxy, people on some of the peripheral boards would assume I was old, whatever that even means.

@marichiko: You sure got a mouth on you, as the old saying goes.

@ Flint Your witty come back skills need work.

ALT + CTRL + DEL

This is boring. You guys are too slow for me AG died of ennui.

<SHIFT + CTRL + F8>

@marichiko: At the flip of a switch I can be a fierce and tenacious boardie who will go to great lengths to obliterate your rebuttals with the force of pure logic. I haven't even begun to post here. Idle chit-chat is not interesting to me.

(btw: < ALT + 0160 > is the manual input code for a "space" that registers as a character)

@Flint: So far, I'm not impressed. But I'm sure I will be any moment now.

Just you wait...

Any second now...

(BTW, ALT + CTRL + DEL throws you into your computer's control panel screen. It can also be a useful sequence to hit when your system freezes up)

Flint - I am more of a lurker than a poster and a fairly new Cellarite myself... but I gotta tell ya I believe the gauntlet has been thrown down... IMHO Mari is a very formidable and intelligent board member (postess, poster, post person???)... possibly caution would be the better part of valor in this case.
just some friendly advice.....

I'm not looking for any epic battles. If I was, there would need to be a topic for me to take Devil's Advocate on. So far we're on the level of "mama jokes" here.
