OK, I am an idiot. Where do I go to read about things such as: how do I set up a ping?

And for $100 (plus postage) he gets the FR secret decoder ring. That's so cool..

Wait 'til he gets the keys to the executive wash room! THAT'S when you know you're no longer considered a nOOb!

“wagglebee is my FRiend”

Okay, you’ve been very helpful & even stuck up for me. I get cranky at times, so I really should be more understanding.

Thanks-

Gosh, you sound like an adult.

We can always use more of them around here. ;-D

"I got a lecture because I did not leave a space after a comma. LOL"

That is as it should be. To reference a lesson that cost me over $100,000 to learn:

"Your thoughts have only so much worth as the form in which they are presented. Thought and form are one, and will be judged as one. Thus any error in presentation, to include spelling and punctuation, at the very least calls into question the worth of the thought being presented.

Errors in grammar, spelling , syntax and punctuation are just that, errors. As errors, they are a failure to properly express your thought and therefore will result in a grade of "F" for the assignment.

These errors will be noted on your work in red, which is not to be mistaken for ink. It is the blood I sweat over every word you write. By the time you complete this course, you will be able to write and communicate your thoughts."

Dr. Edward D. Cronin, Professor Emeritus
University of Notre Dame
(Many years ago, when a degree from that institution actually meant something.)

(Of course, me, personally, I'd cut a lot of slack for somebody with such a warm and fuzzy profile page!)

I’m so old that I was allowed to hand write all my college papers. I relearned how to type on Free Republic.
I was never a good typist. I was better at handwriting.

I just want to see how to comment. This is only a test.

We had one of those when I was a kid!

[Silentgypsy]

Wow! Thanks!

[al baby]

What is that thing?

[bmwcyle]

Did you buy your viking kitty yet? No more questions until then.

[Mears]

I would think he bought it already since the thread is 4 years old.
