Pfft. Thanks for sharing you mealy-mouthed Englishman.

Mealy-mouthed Brit quotes mealy-mouthed Yankee.

Precisely!


I'm guessing you'd hate most of these:

Hey, in the light of your responses to this thread, I assume you're
going to stop telling people how to post, vide your recent Campaign for
the Promotion of Good Quoting?


To what are you referring, dood? :O) You lost me.

And therefore a useless waste of energy. What my mother
called "borrowing trouble." For those who do not have
enough to occupy their minds with, let's imagine car
crashes.

And, based on the result of those crashes, let's imagine airbags.
And antilock brakes.
And crumple zones.
And seat belts
And and

Steve.


You go right ahead. I choose not to.

Both rpch+b and rpca have their place. Sometimes I do want to tell a
cute
story about my cat and not have a bunch of "OMG, you feed your cat
dry
food?" comments.

I used to read rpca occasionally (even posted a couple of times), but I
do longer do - too saccharine (should that be Splenda-did, these days?)

And if I read the community ng I actually starting twitching and have
to go and bite the head off a squirrel in order to regain my
equilibrium.

You don't mind if I call you Mo, do you? I think it's awful cute.

Personally, I much prefer to spell Mo' with an apostrophe. It's an
abbreviation, after all. There are certainly worse nicknames.

I believe I was first called Mo' in high school, when I was told that I needed
a shortened name for our neighborhood basketball games. Mark was "shortened"
to Laquanda, as I recall ... somehow, mine was the only one that actually
*was* shorter.

It actually *is* handy for sports. When I'm out on the ice, for example, it's
a lot easier to hear a teammate on the bench shout "Mo'!" than "Monique!"

Oh, man! What a GREAT suggestion! lol

Yeah, I can't stomach the "community" ng -- actually, I just plain can't
understand most of the posts -- but I'm glad there's a place where people who
want to post that way can share with others of that sort. Keeps 'em out of
the NGs I do frequent =)

I'm glad that some people do, as they save many a life by thinking of creative
ways to cheat death.

See, saying that community gags me HERE is not the same thing as
going to community and saying it. Groups are as they are. But I am
not supposed to "cop out" and say that "Usenet Lyn" and Cheryl and
whoever else harps on this theme are control freaks because they
post HERE about how nathty we all are and how good the GOOD
old days are, according to Karen Chuplis. *sigh* Idiocy.

She's been doing that all along. What makes you think she's going to
stop now? Only rather than saying "shut up", she resorts to bully
tactics all in the name of "free speech". She makes me want to vomit.
PKB every single time.
