    Special PM's

    Not sure, just a PM that says that my every post is a personal attack on someone from a mod. That can't be true. No one is perfect! Since our mods are Anonymous it is hard to be sure.

    Special PM's

    I just tried a response to you next PM and it said that the member is ignoring me with an error code of 555. Was that a PM ban result?

    Special PM's

    Don Vito is the first name that comes to mind. I don't know that he is a mod, but these symptoms are starting to point in a given direction.

    Special PM's

    I suspect a mod is harrassing me. I had two messages with the same characteristic, one from a member and another from a mod with a warning that seemed bogus. Nobody is harrassing you, you were warned to stop the personal attacks and you brought up Don Vito out of the blue. This was about...

    Special PM's

    I got it and it looked like I could reply. When I sent, I got a message "User does not want to recieve messages" with an error code of 556. Not the same symptom. In the others, I would click on reply and nothing would happen.

    Special PM's

    Looks like if a member sends you a PM and then uses the ban function in his/her PM screen that could work.

    Special PM's

    I've gotten a couple of PM's that don't allow a reply. Are mods the only members that can send those?

    Phone services?

    Cingular and Cingular. Got pissed at Bellsouth and went all cellular about six months ago. No more rushing into the house from the patio for an urgently ringing phone only to answer it to find that it is Bellsouth trying to sell us DSL! Love that! Oh yeah, I was paying Bellsouth 72.00 per...

    You have a plane and a conveyor belt.

    They may know the mechanics and the regulations, but they seem to have missed the physics completely! "The belt compensates for the rotation of the wheels in reverse, as in the belt moves in reverse exactly as fast as the wheels move forward." That means that the plane never gains any forward...

    Repost. Takes airspeed to fly, not tire rotation.

    Cops wonder why the public is turning on them... POLL

    I've seen cops lie blatantly in court, under oath! I had an accident and two cops were on the scene. One was white, the other was black. When they testified in court, both were white! I won so their efforts were in vain, but I keep that in mind when the honor of the police force comes to...

    Clinton vows to block bill criminalizing illegal immigrants

    Actually, if you want to stop illegal immigration, dry up the market for cheap labor. How to do that, you ask? Simple. Cancel Democratic programs that pay millions of Americans to forget theri pride and sit on their butts by using taxpayer money to pay them not to work. Sort of like the...

    Clinton vows to block bill criminalizing illegal immigrants

    Wasn't it her hubby that had the Democratic party set up voter education centers near the border to educate illegals in how to vote? In English, repeat after me: "I want to make my X for Senior William Jefferson Clinton". Class dismissed!

    Cops wonder why the public is turning on them... POLL

    I was on 66 just out of DC one evening. It was pouring rain - really bad. This cop pulled me over, got out of his nice dry car and walked in the downpour to my window. Then he said, "Sir, would you please turn on your lights". He then went back to his car and left. I will forever respect...

    Warp was a tedious OS, but it did manage low core better than anything MS has done. I used to load Warp on older systems because the State Department had newly started installing CD drives. With the LAN card and a couple of other things they had, and the need for a bit of memory for the CD...

    Cops wonder why the public is turning on them... POLL

    In some places, cops issue a lot of nuisance tickets, in other places, they don't. I think of that as a quality of life issue. I think the number of tickets per officer should be part of any good quality of life survey.

    Retaliations: Getting back at society's PITA's

    A public service announcment for guys about marriage

    Before I got married, I went to my unmarried buddies to get advice. I liked that advice better than that given to me by my older married buddies. They all said "don't do it" and I just thought they were being bitter old farts. The young, unmarried guys all said "yeah, FTW". Now, after 36...

    Is it possible that she doesn't lock her keyboard and the phone gets self dialed by stuff in her purse, near belt (if she hangs it on a belt) pushing the buttons and she doesn't notice? That happens a lot with phones that aren't flip phones. Something will strike the keys by accident and the...

    Losing money on ebay...

    Reserve, always use reserve. Or get a distant relation to bid it up in desperate situations like this. On the other hand, since you do this a lot, just consider the profit over the average sale. Businesses are made on the averages, not the individual deal.
