    For fit and giggles watch Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank. If you have not, already. I watched it with my grand kids
    Stars voices are mel brooks, ricky gervais, samuel l. jackson. It was about as good as Saddles in cartoon form.

    That is a good idea, because the way I figured it out (personal web server etc) is a pain in the o’kole.....

    Hey HG how the heck you been doing....

    Yeah it was fun. Let me tell you how it happened.

    Back in the day, when online FPS games like Quake III and Unreal Tournament came out I was running a ‘white box’ computer store, I was in my late 30s early 40, during this time 1998-2001. But my employees(12ish of them)were HS seniors or college students in CS programs.

    Anyway at the store, we had T-1, at the time a big deal. So all the employees could “game” against each other and players from around the world.

    Since I had to be there I would always TRY to join in. Some times they would torture my avatar for a few minutes, but most times they just blew me outta my boots before I took a step.

    So needless to say I got real good with chat, only way I could fight back was with words, and of course my vocabulary was quite a bit larger than theirs and being from Hawaii included many foreign words and pidgin English. It was all in good fun. Like Now.

    Well, since you made this far have a great day....

    I see what you mean. I believe if you created a web server on your machine you could probably make things look okay. Just replace the part of the source statement with ip to internal web server.

    Yes. I seem to remember replacing HTTP: with C: in html but I have something wrong, I can actually get that is trying to do it; but my tests have been on to large of format pics. I played with some stuff from web using the format you sent I got control some size issues, pretty good. But some thing just did not come across. I have not been paying much attention to file extensions, since win don’t show it unless u ask. And I am thinking some .png or something is not cooperating

    Do you seriously want to play?

    One chance and one chance only.

    Before we enter the arena, perhaps you would once again attempt to reread my apologetic post you refer to, but your choice. I am questioning your reading comprehension here. If you are unsure perhaps you should obtain a second opinion.

    Points to consider had you read all the snarky answers you refer too.

    You may come away with:

    1 I am one of the various original authors of the book on “sh*t-posting”

    2 it is a game, over 40 years old now and the mentality is juvenile along the lines of Progressive or Geico commercials and very similar to the activities of Congress.

    3 it is choice to play or not too. But keep in mind I do not know you and vice versa. Words cannot hurt me or you.

    Or we can stop being nasty to one another and find common grond for conversation I am actually quite amiable at times.

    Thank you, drop the width part. Would you also be able to assist in telling me how to source from a directory on a WIN 10 machine. I think allowing a ‘space’ in name on dir tree causes problems sometimes. I can pull from some locations on drive but not others (maybe security, but do not think so, also these are the ones with long names). Again thank you had not figured or forgotten about leaving a setting off.

    It was satire and was marked “humor” in topic. But I do concede that next time I need to be clearer, but I think in a way it would not have played as well, iffy call.

    Anyway thank for your response, I hope you have a great evening....

    Yes that is the funny thing I saw peeps get taken out for no reason at all.

    I have family on twitter and they could not believe the stuff I got away with. But I finally hit 3 specific people and bam it was over; 1st was twitter jail, now like many of the peeps I chat-ed with, the FremenOfDune is gone...(I do believe in resurrections tho.)

    I used to do databases when SQL and relational was first hitting the scene. Things were rough those early days of network DBs so techs like me made many accounts to work with.

    So generally I have more than a couple accounts at whatever site I deal with. I do not do online banking or purchasing of any kind. I live rather monastically.

    Well I have probably tugged on your eyelids long enough, thank you for your response and have a wonderful evening or night or whatever :)

    I hear ya. Had relatives that worked in auto factories etc, when Nazis took over, their stories were quite informing.

    Anyway, I need to clarify that you were aware the post was tongue and cheek. I had “topic-ed” it as humor, but I probably should have added a tag or something.

    Yes, I did use sophistry. Even tho in many places I denounce sophistry, I do know how to use it.

    However, I thought the “humor” as well as some of the words and sentence structures would give it away as satire. I tried to make sound ‘snow flake-ish’ and somewhat silly. I think based on some responses it was too well, maybe.

    Anyway thank you for responding, have a good evening.

    I kinda think it is funny and I do have fun poking the jackasses in D.C.

    I am older and this online bantering is very cheap entertainment.

    I am using another account I have over there and still screwing with them. I am actually fighting the suspension just to see where it goes...but I have never been one to “keep all the eggs in one basket”..

    The way I see it. When they try to silence me it means that they can’t stand the truth or whatever the hell I am saying at the time and I am winning. I have some people tell me I do not take all this seriously enough.

    They have no idea how much effort I put into the linguistic traps etc I prepare while playing online word games.

    TIP: the key to playing word games, is that words cannot hurt you. If you let words hurt you; you have beaten yourself and you lose.

    Well tugged on your eyes long enough thank for your response today, I hope you have a great evening.

    I know that is why it is ‘ ‘ play on words that turned out a bit rough... rather a flop actually.... more about peeps playing ‘fair’ together, oh forget it.

    In the afternoon I start slurring my posts....

    Anyway thanks for playing you have a great afternoon and evening.

    Sparky good to hear from ya.

    You have been here long enough to know about the ‘Topic’ selection in posting, right.

    Yeah, it is the one that has “humor” selected as the topic.

    Also I thought many things in the post should have given away the idea it was tongue & cheek.

    I just do not know what to anticipate anymore.

    May I ask, if humanity were to be judged by ETs based upon Progressive & Geico insurance advertisements, how do you think we will ‘fair’?
