Always!

I've met some of the more infamous curmudgeons off this newsgroup (and other
chat groups), both at the hotel and at fly-ins. *Without exception, they've
been TOTALLY different in-person than they are "in writing". *Maybe not
outgoing and gregarious, but certainly not unpleasant.

Written communication -- especially for those who choose to remain
anonymous -- often appears much harsher than those same words would sound if
spoken. *It's something I must continually guard against, since I tend to
sound stuffy and boorish in writing, when we all know I am debonair and
classy in-person.

:-)

I don't know what Maxwell has against parties, or my signature line, but I
suppose without Bertie around maybe he's simply lonely...?

Just my read on him, but for some reason he equates both your sig file
and my Bio having been placed on Wikipedia as direct attempts at
"upgrading" ourselves on Usenet. His problem is that if he actually
knew either one of us personally my guess is that he wouldn't feel
this way, but I could be wrong.
Sorry he feels so strongly about these things but that's the way it
goes I guess.

Everyone please consider ignoring him and others like him, this time. Don't
let us go down the same path again.

Just consider it, please. He isn't worth it.

Stuffy and boorish? You can either be a toff or a neandertal, not
both

Me, too.

And your post just jogged my memory to look at that webpage you told be
wasn't working. I have no idea what synapse misfired to cause me to forget
to look into that, but -- assuming I can remember it between now and when I
get to the hotel -- I *will* fix that today.

Dang, you made me go to Dictionary.com on that one. I'd never heard of
"toff" before...

Yes Jay,...my neighbors are from England and also speak a different brand
of English than we do. Ramapriya, also a friend of mine is from India.

That's probably because you live in the west where classes as such
have become extinct over the past hundred years; ergo no use for
toffs

Two countries... seperated by a common language...

Everyone, you have to go to the booth at the entrance to the North Fourty
_before_ after the show on the day of the party. The booth will be closed
by then so you will not be able to find the party.


maybe it is time for some web 2.0 thinggy? or a tweet with some
followers ....

Yeah, I thought of using Twitter to invite people...but it might turn out to
be TOO popular...
