Very good indeed!! Wish I had any confidence that the people who actually need those admonitions will pay any attention to them...

It might have been interesting if the narrator had slowed to about half the speed, so he was intelligible to human beings.

Ah - yes - your charactor is certainly portrayed quite well Mr. Villan

Post Count = Rule Number Five
Every time you post - your post count goes up by one.

Some people seem to think that the higher their post count the more worthy and valuable they are to society at large - frankly the exact opposite appears to be the case.. Make sure your reply is funny or interesting or better yet funny and interesting - never believe that "I agreee LOL" is an appropriate reply.

In your case we may add - posting links to on-line-videos - without explanation - is also never appropriate.

You appear to have a lot to offer Mr. V. - slow down - perhaps place a limit of no more than five posts a day upon yourself and make those posts "QUALITY" rather than quantity. (nearly 30 posts yesterday?)

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Respect the admins = Step Six

It is their website and they can do whatever the Hell they like with it - you are a guest and hazzeling them about how they run things (chat is down - super search is defective - where does the money go?) Is akin to going to your relative's house and hurling one out in the tea pot.

Along the same lines (but they speak slower) here's one for some of you.

Another brilliant link. I just love my electric friendship generator and the Mudcat placebook. I want to say that out loud now with a Marvin the Martian voice.

Har har har... I am sucha goober.

To behave on an Internet forum,
One should use a degree of decorum
Post not the bad word
in the pub overheard,
For few folk can bear to ignore 'em.

A flaming you'll get for your trouble
And insults returned at the double.
Your ears will get burned,
Your emails returned
And your domain reduced to small rubble.





Don't ask where I found that...

I can see the problem Dave - if you're not used to English English with a slight regional accent it would probably be a little difficult to follow.

Very good advice though.
