In simpler terms, it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on.
I thought it was interesting though. In retrospect, I don't think I've ever been angry with another poster. I've spent a lot of time feeling stupid about my posts. The ratio is on the order of probably 10000:1 stupid to angry.
Maybe I should write a browser Greasemonkey script that pauses for ten seconds before asking me "Are you really, really sure you want to post THAT??" and plays the Jeopardy theme song. Naturally, Tork will demand I write one for his mac, and then we won't hear from him for weeks. On second thought...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... Y.
The only difference in the version I write for Tork:
- It will play Wagner’s Flight of the Valkyries.
- It will ask if he “really, really wants to post THAT” three times.
- If he answers NO, it will post anyway, and add Admin Moderator to the TO: list.
You said it so much more elegant then my brief treatise...
