This is actually par for the course around here. Check out the "Nevermind" thread a little lower in this forum. That's a pretty good example of us at our best when we aren't debating the Defiant's size or any other number of recurring Treknology debates that never seem to be settled.
Oh, and since I forgot earlier, welcome to Flare.

Hi, HH. I believe you've probably seen some of my postings at the trekrpg forums, too.
You have now entered Wonderland. Please check your reason at the door, and remember to don your space-shuttle-tile uniform before entering the Flameboard. The owls are not what they seem. The man in the jeep is evil. We wonk that there is no dog. No one here is exactly what he or she appears to be. Elvis has left the building. Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate. Stay off the man train. Smile, or else.
And you thought Styro was off-kilter.

And strangly, no one has mentioned Simon.
Either Simon or the Defiant is 170 meters, but I've forgotten which is which.

Another piece of advice: Do NOT, under any circumstances mention the words deer and Snay in the same sentance. It HURTs. Also don't mention the age of the Akira class...
Good luck

That would be due to the marvelous moderatorship of that forum.
Not to take away from this tearful greating, but haven't we gotten to the point where we can cut & paste the hilarious greatings that happen each and every time, eh?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Editted to include lots of gratuitous name-dropping!
{New Poster}, don't listen to {Bitter Cranky Poster}. He's just upset that {he doesn't get the respect he deserves/ a house landed on his sister/ he's a bitter and cranky old man}. It would be best to just ignore {Bitter Cranky Poster}. It would also be best if you just ignore {First of Two/ Omega/ Jeff Kardde/ Jay the Obscure/ Dukhat/ Mark Nguyen/ The_Tom/ TSN/ FrankG/ Nimrod/ Tahna Los/ Fabrux/ The359} because he's a(n) {right-wing reactionary loon/ left-wing radical hippie/ indecisive fence-sitter/ no-real-life Trek geek/ delusional Star Wars freak/ Braga's anal playmate/ old lady teaching seventh grade math}.
While you're at it, it'd be best to also ignore {PsyLiam/ Vogon Poet/ Ultra Magnus/ CaptainMike} because he's a sarcastic old fogey but apparently gets lots of woman love. Beware of Sol System for he has {a very big appendage capable of destroying the Western US seaboard/ mad mod skillz}. And, you better ignore Siegfried because he'll steal your {mother/ daughter/ sister/ grandmother/ girlfriend/ father/ son/ brother/ grandfather/ boyfriend/ best fried/ pet} and make sweet love to {him/ her/ it}.
There are many more people to be weary of as well. {OnToMars/ Ritten} have connections to the military and can probably make a tip arrive for the FBI about the kilo of weapons-grade plutonium that mysteriously appeared under your bed. Mighty Monkey of Mim obsesses over {The Animated Series/ Mike Okuda/ starship lists} while you can count on cool stuff in the Design, Artwork, and Creativity forum thanks to {The Red Admiral/ Yakaspat the Trekker/ Lobo/ Reverend}. And, since Flare is something of a clique, undoubtedly {Dat/ Harry/ MinutiaeMan/ Veers/ Aban Rune/ Alshrim/ Kosh/ Nightwing/ AndrewR} will be pissed that I did not include them. Ryan McReynolds deserves special mention since I owe him {a cup of coffee/ fifty dollars/ my first-born son} and haven't delivered yet.
If you want to fill a token character or personality here, you're out of luck because {sex stud/ always sexxing/ master of sex} is taken by Shik while {hates all men/ castrates all men/ picture tease} is taken by LOA. Did we already mention that {Siegfried/ Michael_T} is {incredibly horny/ gay/ a McDonald's freak/ a Dr Pepper fan}? Well, it's {true/ all lies}!
Anyway, welcome to {Flare/ the Madhouse/ the Land that God forgot/ the Insane Asylum}. Don't feed the {Curry Gods/ Turnips/ Sheep/ Goats/ Defiant-length threads}. And, for god's sake, don't bring up the touchy subjects of {Starfleet Communications Relay/ Darkstar/ MIB-FlowerMan}.
And may {God/ Allah/ Yahweh/ Jehovah/ Goddess/ Jebidiah/ George W. Bush/ Charles Capps/ Eminem} have mercy on your soul.

Welcome to Flare, Highway Hoss! Hope you do not run away screaming when you find out how some of these people act.
Oh, and two other things not to mention in the Tech Forum--the registry of the USS Yamato and that little thing from the Spacedock in Star Trek III. *Whew*, are those threads loooonnnnng.
