Not trying to be too mean-spirited, but what's with clueless people trying to post news? Manipulation? Ego? Disrespect? {nm} islander Aug 24, 13:53

I'm glad my news post came 2 minutes after your post..otherwise I would have thought you were talking directly about me :) lobogotti Aug 24, 14:03

I think it's people eager to be a part of the game, to put their stamp on it without realizing that there are unspoken rules about posting Paul2k Aug 24, 14:08

Haha, jinx! You owe me a soda... {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 24, 14:12

sure...here, let me shake it up for you first. *runs away* {nm} Paul2k Aug 24, 14:18

Haha {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 24, 14:23

Just seems like they never introduce themselves, or join discussions, or post on players board, they jump right to getting moderated ;) {nm} islander Aug 24, 14:29

Gotta cut your teeth sometime... I've recently tried posting news for the first time after watching the wisers for a while. I think until PRodQuanta Aug 24, 14:11

Remember me? I just was so eager to get in here and be respected. It is just newbies trying to sit at the cool kids table :) {nm} damenchipguy Aug 24, 14:43

What are those "unspoken" rules? {nm} DOW53 Aug 24, 16:00

Haha, exactly. Just keep reading the forums and you'll find out sooner or later PRodQuanta Aug 24, 16:20

When posting news: Paul2k Aug 24, 16:23

+1....and trust me, I learned the hard way. harder than anyone on here imo. people have learned from my HONEST mistakes. {nm} lobogotti Aug 24, 16:58

For the most part, see the process that Antibody uses when posting news. He is the forum moderator and voice of HSX. {nm} Paul2k Aug 24, 16:25

Thanks. I probably started to post news too soon. I did watch Antibody alot. I noticed the sites he used, the way he wrote the news (...) DOW53 Aug 24, 19:39

Anyway, I'm sorry if I offended anybody by trying to post news. Just trying to be part of the community I guess. {nm} DOW53 Aug 24, 19:40

Feel free to post news...you'll get the hang of it. Anyways, even the best of us screw it up from time to time. :) Join the community. {nm} Paul2k Aug 24, 19:45

Thank you :). I got it all right except for one thing. I don't know how to do the link of my source. Could you help me with that? {nm} DOW53 Aug 24, 19:47

islander was nice enough to type up this nice how to a few weeks ago on the support board. Paul2k Aug 24, 20:58

honestly, welcome to the community. as with any community, there are nice guys (like lobo) and a-holes (like ?!?) islander Aug 24, 19:49

Well, it's not easy to sort out what's important and what isn't when you start so I apologize for that, but I think for the most part I DOW53 Aug 24, 19:52

you're not even close to a bad guy. you're fun. I feel your pain when you talk about work...love to see those updates. {nm} lobogotti Aug 24, 20:44

keep em' coming Dow. it really is a learning curve. doesn't seem it at first but man if you mess up you hear about it quick! {nm} Stork Aug 24, 20:43

You're right about that! :) {nm} DOW53 Aug 24, 20:45

I always come here hoping to here about what's going on in your world. I get enough entertainment new. wroberson Aug 24, 22:33

For The Wire fans & would-be fans, Amazon has the 23 disc DVD boxset for $72 and change today. PrezBO Aug 24, 10:04

I have the exact set...steal of a deal. think i paid $110 for mine on sale 3 years ago. {nm} lobogotti Aug 24, 10:09

I've seen it through three times and I still had to get it, if for the commentary alone. {nm} PrezBO Aug 24, 10:27

Ahhh choo!. Ahhh choo. *wipes monitor* Ahhh CHOOO! Anyone else have allergies? What do you take? islander Aug 24, 08:06

I take Zyrtec in the evening, Claritin in the morning. And yes I know, you aren't supposed to do that. Sue me. PrezBO Aug 24, 08:25

my sneezing and runny nose is bad, but man im thankful not to have the coughing and sore throat like you. u have my sympathy! {nm} islander Aug 24, 08:28

Coughing & sore throat are probably from post-nasal drip, that should pass soon (fingers crossed). PrezBO Aug 24, 08:38

Yeah, but don't you also sniff glue and drink antifreeze? {nm} PVL Admin Aug 24, 21:28

I have them bad right now too. I don't use anything but manage to get by. Claritin soon enough. lobogotti Aug 24, 08:52

As a person who has had BAD allergies for over 30 yrs - if you can manage without anything, you don't have it bad JDolphin Aug 24, 23:55

I agree. I don't have severe. It is more watery eyes and gunk/snot holding them together at times. Just lobogotti Aug 25, 07:38

Have to go on a drive for a seminar tomorrow... accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 07:00

i take feedback seriously. while I wasn't able to incorporate everything into the site (side background has to stay per the wifey), I did lobogotti Aug 24, 06:35

Good changes edzep Aug 24, 14:35

yes, the only page done now is the About Us page. i don't have all the photos and content ready for anything else. lobogotti Aug 24, 17:01

Good. Oh, the dealer click thing was theycallmediddy {nm} edzep Aug 24, 19:23

that's right! thank you diddy...appreciated Mr. Combs. {nm} lobogotti Aug 24, 20:46

OMG my calculus teacher sounds like the wierd talking museum director from ghosybusters 2!!!! HAHAHA Dorfman Aug 24, 06:19

so hard not to laugh {nm} Dorfman Aug 24, 06:21

watch out if he starts calling to Vigo {nm} tealfan Aug 24, 08:28

it was so hard not to bust out laughin in class. {nm} Dorfman Aug 24, 13:32

I feel like I need to explain some things... accountant_4_Jesus Aug 23, 17:40

I haven't been keeping up. But, I generally avoid talking politics and religion on web forums. edzep Aug 23, 18:06

To be honest, I wasn't attempting to do either. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 00:41

I do recall edzep Aug 24, 03:49

As I said in reply to lobo, accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 04:59

I believe you took some jokes and movie quotes seriously and out of context, and was critical of those posts. {nm} Antibody Aug 24, 11:08

Yes I did. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 11:51

I have a niece with the same, trust me on this... damenchipguy Aug 23, 18:58

Yes, I realize what you're saying. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 00:52

Please bear in mind that the vast majority of the abusive things said on-line would never be said face-to-face. PrezBO Aug 24, 03:40

+1. I have had this happen, where I met the guy who was being a mouth. He didn't have much to say in person... {nm} PVL Admin Aug 24, 22:45

who was making fun of you accountant? you have never wronged me and I would be saddened if you up and left. no need for that at all. lobogotti Aug 23, 19:12

I'm with lobo, I really enjoy all your posts (and been following your recent reset trading spree), so don't think about leaving... slappydavid Aug 23, 20:05

I think that "spree" is going to stay from now on... accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 01:12

I don't blame you for keep going at it... slappydavid Aug 24, 05:35

I replied to that post on the Playing Strategy board for you ;) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 05:56

I don't want to name names, that would just cause me more trouble. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 01:02

thanks for sharing that...you don't seem like it...I wouldn't have known if you never mentioned it :) {nm} tealfan Aug 23, 20:10

I suppose I can take that as a compliment then :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 00:43

Echoing what tealfan said, I would have never known either. And that is most definitely meant as a compliment. {nm} PrezBO Aug 24, 03:44

yes it's a compliment...sorry if it came out wrong...hehe {nm} tealfan Aug 24, 08:29

Please continue to post. If I have said or done anything to offend, please accept my most humble appologies. PrezBO Aug 23, 22:02

No, no, it wasn't you. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 00:46

As a matter of fact, I read your posts and think most of them are absolutely hilarious! {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 01:13

Good, because most of them are meant to be jokes! ;P {nm} PrezBO Aug 24, 03:40

This is the internet. Everything is criticized. Don't take it personally. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 24, 04:15

Sometimes it's not that easy (although I wish it was). {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 04:59

keep on doing what you've been doing. Oleg Max Aug 24, 08:12

Thanks! I shall :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 24, 11:49

I'm really sincerely sorry if I've ever said anything that upset you. HarryWarden Aug 24, 22:41

No, you're fine. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 25, 13:40

90% of your posts are great contributions to the community. Don't worry if you miss 10% of the time. Remember, kids are cruel. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 24, 22:47

Thanks for your encouragement. :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 25, 14:13

thank you very much, appreciated. {nm} lobogotti Aug 23, 19:07

Not bad, which is pretty good, considering some of the "please critique" offerings we've seen edzep Aug 23, 15:32

thank you very much. custom orders page did not have text done. my wife put that up and it looks sloppy. lobogotti Aug 23, 19:08

Tragic news here in Aus: Chopper crashes, killing an ABC reporter, cameraman & pilot. DL has a short article on it. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 20, 03:34

I hadn't realized you were an Aussie. I grew up on the west coast, before settling in California some 40+ years ago. {nm} MojaveMeg Aug 20, 08:29

Oh ok. So around Perth area? I live about 6 hours north of Sydney. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 20, 22:05

We farmed in the wheat-belt for 6 years, about 150 miles north of Perth, then moved to the coast when the new BP refinery opened in Kwinana. {nm} MojaveMeg Aug 21, 08:55

Ah, I see. I live in the "food bowl" area of NSW. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 21, 20:06

It is sad.....but remember to we Yanks, ABC is a diffeerent network ,,, Buy StarBondFund (EURO too) Aug 20, 12:54

Yes, I did realize that... after I'd posted. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 21, 20:06

Looks like we all agree on 12 teams for FF, sidenote I just found out a twitter follower is blind is that good or bad for me? {nm} damenchipguy Aug 19, 19:13

We are locked at 12 teams, I get slappy first. I just dont know if I will be slapping or getting slapped :) {nm} damenchipguy Aug 19, 19:20

We'll find out soon enough! Gotta go through the draft first! {nm} slappydavid Aug 19, 22:54

So how soon until we get the first West Memphis Three movie? Antibody Aug 19, 15:31

Already in development. DL: West Memphis 3 Feature Film Eyes Spring Shoot With Atom Egoyan Directing - script started in 2006 JDolphin Aug 19, 19:05

Who besides Paul, Jane and myself are Doctor Who fans and when did you start watching? {nm} moovinut Aug 19, 10:08

I started with the 9th Doctor, so a relatively new fan...never could get into the older ones when they showed on PBS as I was growing up. {nm} Paul2k Aug 19, 10:10

Well obviouslly the budgets are better now. moovinut Aug 19, 10:15

huge, started as kid in 80's with pbs, 4th doc t.baker was the first, but 5th (davison) became my favorite. tennant a close 2nd. cant stand islander Aug 19, 10:21

Did you know that the eighth doctor was the voice of House on the Doctors Wife episode? moovinut Aug 19, 10:40

IMDB says Michael Sheen was the voice of House, not Paul McGann Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:28

BTW did you geek out as I did when K-9 came back a couple of years ago? {nm} moovinut Aug 19, 10:41

that was nice and sarah jane (tho i had only seen very few of her original episodes) {nm} islander Aug 19, 11:06

The nods to the old series are appreciated though. {nm} moovinut Aug 19, 12:13

Fan of the older stuff - don't care for any of the new doctors - Peter Davison 5th my favorite, 2nd Tom Baker (4th) {nm} JDolphin Aug 19, 19:08

I went to conventions back in the 80's and helped run a few {nm} JDolphin Aug 19, 19:10

yeah Amy and Rory are pretty rough. She's so broad and he has to play at her level ... Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:21

Dont know Dr Who (yet) but am watching the American spinoff of Torchwood and heard that it relates somehow back to Dr Who? {nm} RazorHawk Aug 19, 12:37

huh, there's an American Torchwood! That totally makes sense ... {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:08

Torchwood: Miracle Day RazorHawk Aug 20, 08:19

Torchwood is mentioned in Doctor Who for some time before the TW show started. Torchwood, BTW, is an anagram of Doctor Who. {nm} PrezBO Aug 20, 11:54

Never watched a single episode in my entire life. I've just never been interested. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 19, 17:18

took me a while to get over here Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:07

not that that series is McGann's fault, he's great, but it was just lean times for the franchise ... {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 19, 19:29

Got into Doctort Who last year. Started with David Tenet. {nm} PrezBO Aug 20, 11:53
