Members AWOL!

Derek,

I am six hours behind replying to you, in the interest of keeping the reader up to speed I therefore use the reply with quote button.

 If after six hours I just replied who on earth would know what I was talking about.....don't answer that  

If not why is this facility available?

 Maybe Hoopla put it there by mistake....dam, can't I win any of these arguments

The internet can be a wonderful tool, it is how ever two dimenional and one has to make ones self very clear on various points, hence using an icon to reinforce the comment was very much "tongue in cheek".

Anyway, this is way off topic..hold on a mo, maybe I've answered my own question 

I am not being personal CBR600, but did you not say two hours ago that comments should not be personal?  I suppose there is nothing in the forum rules about being consistent.

Don,  damp downtown York

Maybe I'm just a pacifist !

Moderation in everything.

I have no issue with challenging banter as long as it doesn't get offensive.

Would hate to be the cause of "cyber bullying"

Paul

I'll get you later after school. Me and my big mates.

Handbags at dawn it is then !

Humour, luv it!

Keep it up guys.

What happened to the bloke who had 22,000 + posts???

Arguments are entertaining. 

What is interesting is that these arguments can - and often do - become "personal".

We do not know each other, have never met, may live in completely different part of the world, speak a different language... Yet despite all these obstacles and differences, we still manage to irritate each other!

Is this not wonderful?

PS. If you read this: f&%*  you!

I take your point, but you have hit the nail on the head what is wrong with the world.

It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice!!!

Cue the cliches!

but Dusty - the ability to quote has always been available on forums for the last 30 odd years  - even on 3270 type terminals - it was called copy and paste.

True Derek, but what has that got to do with the price of peas!!!

My point is directing conversation. If what you say is true why does the "reply...multi quote" button exist? 

As you say, I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Otherwise this will go round and round and....

Again off topic.

I've heard most Canadians do count.  At least to nine, no problem.  It's when they get to the double digits most begin to struggle.  Every Canadian I know can readily spot the number of beers gone from a six-pack 

We've actually become quite good at it, but the best ones keep leaving :

Summary

Here's what we've learned so far in this thread :

You read my mind Jan.

Now what am I thinking 

Why? Don't Canadians have ten fingers? Is it a genetic thing? A Mounty always gets his man but leaves one of his fingers behind or something.

My apologies, Jamie.  I'll give you to ten, and probably to 20 when it's warm enough to take off your boots.

Good to have you back Geoff.

Now we seem to have lost Allen B & Ken C?

Nope, AllenB responded to one of my posts very recently.

But ken c (please note the lower case) now there's a real brain teaser.

Cheers

Don

Thank you Don for the heads up.

Hi Don.

I have just deleted a post completely based upon ; " getting the wrong end of the stick", if you managed to read it, I do sincerely apolpogize . If it wasn't for JulianH, I would have made myself look a complete idiot.................. DOH ! "War and peace", deary me I'm walking the path of peace and getting back to what matters here, again my apologies !  All the best Peter

Nice sit down with  great music and maybe a drink? Eh Peter.

Hi Peter and welcome back !!

Yes, I did read your post but please don't be upset about that. I knew there was a mis-understanding (it happens to us all, doesn't it !) so started to draft a reply to clear things up. However, thanks to Julian H (many, many thanks Julian) I don't need to do anything other than say many thanks for the apology Peter, that is truly appreciated and I am so glad that you are back - and enjoying your music !

Cheers

Don
