Oh, and those of you who are compulsive PDN changers - once a PDN has been used, it's put in the reserved list and will not be removed until the list is purged. It's a manual process. I just did so a moment ago, so some of the names should be freed up again.

As for PM's though, he's not the only one... Yesterday I replied to a PM sent by Krenmin confirming me as a mod sent back in April. I would have liked being a mod, but I never knew the PM existed. That, and I was in boot camp in April which is why I couldn't have responded in the first place.

I doubt it since I'm not a Wing Commander fan. But no sweat.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
No, I am making an issue out of this! Twat!
Posted by Red BWC (Member # 818) on :
You do know that you should put both books in your signature Hobbes, because, the Essesntial, Indespensible, and Athouritive C&H books were two or three books in one!
um.. or maybe he put it in his tagline because it was a good catch phrase, not because it was the best of the books
Posted by Red BWC (Member # 818) on :
No, because the first strip in the book, a Sunday one, featurs Hobbes sneaking up on Calvin during the night, pouncing him, and then his parents come in and ask Calvin what happened, and he says' Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat.' If you knoew Calvin and Hobbes like we do, it would make more sense.
Posted by Captain... Mike (Member # 709) on :
I do know that. I have every single one of those books (unlike you, i can read the words after I'm done looking at the pictures too.) . I'm just puzzled why you would say that Hobbes should change his good catch phrase tagline to a dumb sounding name of a book tagline.
Posted by Magnus Pym Eye (Member # 239) on :
Calvin and Who?
Posted by Red BWC (Member # 818) on :
No, I do read the words. Calvin says 'Homicidal Psycho Jungle cat'

Mainly because in this line of business, if you can never say what you mean, then you can never mean what you say. On a message board, the only thing that people have to go on is words on a screen. And if those words don't make sense, then it makes you look like an idiot. (I'm not saying you ARE one. It just might LOOK that way sometimes.)
Clarity and precision -- along with proper grammar -- can be quite helpful in getting your point across. I don't do it ALL the time, but I usually take a quick second to re-read my post before I press the "Add Reply" button. It does wonders for your image. I've been a member for nearly two years now -- at least, I first registered in November 2000 -- and I have never been a target for extreme flaming and so on. I would venture that it's because I try to post carefully, and don't make inane and silly comments too often. Be thoughtful. Sometimes less is more.

Well, barring all rules whatsoever, I have found that to really get the most out of posting I shouldn't use spacing, commas, stops or any other obsolete 20th century form of text communication. It is best to just immerse myself in the goodness that is letters for hits and giggles, so that we can all get just one step closer to instant super communiction. We all know that the brain reads the message immediately, but to decpipher (AHA! TYPO!) it one must look at all the individual letters to form some sort of coherence. But I digress. I think we should all gouge (WTF?) our eyes out, and use those nifty blind text translators that use piercing little needles to massage our fingertips. Like that guy from Sneakers with Robert Redford (YUCK), the man to end all men. And that young guy that couldn't hold his cocaine very well, and also Benking Sleyas (WHAT YOU SAY!), the supreme nerd hacker god - complete with ponytail and all.
