You humans are so . . . . primitive! You clothe your females!

Only to bring dirty coffee cups into the kitchen, don't want everybody to see the beauty....

"He looks *so* pleased with his newly discovered nest..."

I guess he figured it was a good vantage point from which to keep track of all the comings and goings of the food.

The glamour boys swear they are a diva
The glamour boys have it all under control
Always dancing and always laughing
The glamour boys are playing the role

The glamour boys never have no money
The glamour boys wear the most expensive clothes
The glamour boys are always at the party
Where the money comes from heaven only knows

I ain't no glamour boy - I'M FIERCE
I ain't no glamour boy - (snap)
I ain't no glamour boy - I'M FIERCE
I ain't no glamour boy

The glamour boys live off their ambition
The glamour boys have it all figured out
A very, very dubious position
When you got no clout

The glamour boys whole life is a gamble
They might get over or fall flat on their face
But if one does, there's no need to worry
Another G-Boy will take this place

I ain't no glamour boy - I'M FIERCE

The glamour boys don't think tomorrow
The glamour boys just need tonight to play
But just like things you can't afford on credit
Time catches up and you have to pay

The glamour boys are always on the guest list
You'll always find them in the hottest spots in town
They'll be your friend if you have fame or fortune
If you don't they won't be hanging 'round

I ain't no glamour boy - I'm FIERCE

'Donuts too?'


I hear you only get donuts if you join the oracle union.

REAL QUESTION:

Can anything be done to segregate the substantive posts/replies from the fluff? (Such as having a check-box on the "post a reply" page that would color-code the background of the post... white for substantive and pale yellow for fluff?)

On important news threads, there may be 500 junk replies and only 10 substantive replies. Quite annoying to try to find the real news buried in long threads like that.

(I intended to scan this thread to see if anyone had already asked this question, but since this thread is 95% fluff, I don't have time to sift through it all.)

I don't mean to be insulting to anyone. I simply asked why someone can be around when if you looked at their comments on any day of the week, that person is demeaning and insulting and getting away with it.

As I stated before, I'll stay off those threads when that person is there.

Yes -- from now on I'll post my replies in RED -- the rest are fluff.

Just my little part for FR -- I hope this helps.

But seriously, Would it be possible to have a link to "browse" the latest posts from the "my comments" page?

There is now... upper fight hand side.... From "My comments" you can browse any forum individually or "browse all"

REAL QUESTION TOO:

Sorry if this has been asked, but is there going to be a feature in the software that will allow us to delete our own posts (but only our own) if we so desire? There have been plenty of cases where I have said something I wish I hadn't. It would cut down on the workload for you guys too.

Why are you always so moody? We understand the "Cybill thing" knowing there are several of youse....but 'there oughta be a book' so you'd all have a tiny chance to be on the same page.

He wouldn't take mine so I tried the next best thing.

My phone number is next to yours, or second best to yours? Or are you talking about something else entirely?

Well, I know that, but if we're supposed to be 'extra vigilant' why not leave them open? IF there was something going on involving trucks, they might be able to notice something "off".

OK, I admit it.

I use a Macintosh with Internet Explorer. When I go to post a message I don't know where to get italics. I also don't think I can post images like some of the clever guys around here.

I don't know how to increase the font size or do my font in a different color.

I am so jealous of these guys who can do all that clever stuff.

When I quote someone else's post I have to do this >>>> <<<<.

And I don't know HTML stuff either.

I am not joking here.


Thanks.

Okay, what do I do with that? I've seen this sort of id line from other posters but can't figure out how they are to be used, excuse my ignorance.

I believe I had one or two posts pulled about three years ago.

As you stated, no one is promised a Rose Garden. I'll stay off those threads when that person is there.

That is why I have stayed off threads where you are, your arrogance shows in every one of them including this one..

I would never call you a bozo.... but it has always been there! :~D Glad you found it now. I feel for you, being 'trapped' in "My Comments" with no link back out!

Problem would likely be that most everybody would see their post as "substantive"...even if it's drivel.

Maybe we'd be honest about it, I dunno.
