Be very aware, since TR is a public forum you could now be inundated over the coming months with all manner of electronic detritus, far outweighing any spam-levels you have already encountered.

I advise you edit and remove your email addresses forthwith. ;)

by older mycroft

Why the disguise?

You rather stirred up a bit of a furore last time round:

https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=224898

I notice some of your email addresses have also changed. ...I wonder why? ;)

[b]A word to the wise:[/b]
If your gonna come back here all commando-style, try changing your name - not just your number!

In the words of the almighty Patrick McGoohan:
[i][b]"I am NOT a number, I am a FREE MAN!!!"[/i][/b] :) :) :D

The aol.com emails are the same, and it's about radios.

Good spot!

Maybe this thread will end up the same?

I'd like to see his response to jdclyde:

I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO EBAY AND PURCHASE THIS RADIO. I ASKED IF YOU HAD A SPARE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SPARE THEN KINDLY TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSE WHERE.

by maecuff

a year or so ago. Same issues. I remember the 'tomp'. He had a thing for calling people 'rude'.

Oh yes!!! He was the 'hug' guy. You guys remember that thread, right? The one about whether or not it was appropriate to hug in the workplace? That was a fun one. :)

by jiminpa

Is it not appropriate to hug in the workplace??? uh oh... gotta go HR is calling...

by jdclyde

ONLY if you grope while your hugging was it acceptable behavior.... ]:)

by tomp1253

I am just merely asking a question here about a radio. If you are going to insult me and all mature people on this board, then you should set up a website that bashes people in cyberland! I thought you were more intelligent than this, but I guess not.

by thumbsup2

... reciprocal groping/squeezing/kneeing is not taken as a sign of acceptance! ]:) :D

by jdclyde

if there is hugging and groaping going on, a mint flavored condom will come in handy... :D

by Member 25348569

Yet.

Consider that your question is totally inappropriate for this site, you ignore the one relevant and helpful tech-tip (Don't post your email address), you call jdclyde up for his spelling (that is SUCH a cheap shot!) and none of us are quite sure what you're here for, I'm amazed that we're NOT all queuing up to take a shot.

Neil :)

jdclyde? Beavis? Nah. With his follicular challenging, he's definitely Butthead...

See! You can't even get dissing jd right!

by jdclyde

I was the only one that gave him the way to GET the radio in the first place! :0

huhuhuhuhuhuh

That's not what Jesus Chrysler said. Jesus chrysler said "Otherwise".

"Nobody come to The Father except thru me!"

by jdclyde

and there was nothing wrong with the original request.

Of course ignoring my solution and then being a dick just because you didn't understand my joke didn't win you any points with me.... If you were pissed, then take it out on the people that were "dissing" you.

by older mycroft

Maybe that is where you are becoming confused and, as Neilb has said, you are posting wholly inappropriate questions for TechRepublic.

By the way, are you aware that you can listen to shortwave radio on the 'Net, you don't even require a shortwave receiver!

by w2ktechman

so we can all offload unwanted stuff so that when someone wants a specific item for free, they can 'swap' for it!

What a great idea. TR, I am sending a few pallets of old stuff your way, got room in the mother ship?

by rob miners

a brilliant idea. I have a pallet of old printers that I would like to swap. :p

by jdclyde

I could trade my ex-wife in for a new model! :D

by w2ktechman

Beth -- nah, we might exp. account problems

Jay -- nah, he might make us a part of trivia -- "what techs were killed this week" :0

oh wait.. Tigs said she had a cubicle, right?? It must be mostly empty right now :D

by rob miners

think that Tigg would have the time to organise anything like that. Jay also seems to be pretty occupied and there is NO Way I would burden Beth as she has already worn out two sets of boxing gloves.

Just the easy things like a Complete Exhaust System for a 900 SS and of course it has to have Conti's they just sound so much better than anything else. a unbroken Gear Leaver would be nice too. Sure there heaps of other things but I'll see what I need first. :D

Lets see to trade I have a heap of Vesa Video Cards someone should be interested in these, Numerous 386 & 486 CPU's even quite a few Pentiums and Socket A AMD's. How about a 2.2 Lt Mercedes Motor that is folly recoed and never turned under power?

The Mercedes Ignition Modules and Engine Management Modules are required unless of course someone has something that I want. :D

Lets see what didn't I throw out in the last move HUM.................................

I'll have a look around and get back with any more goodies.

Col

by rob miners

have a virtual swap meet. :p

I'd love to take Col's 900 for a spin around the block. Probably head to Syney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Broom, Kununurra, Darwin, Mt Isa, Cairns and then back to Brisbane. What an adrenaline rush. I couldn't catch one on my Z1000 many years ago.

No one ever rides my Ducati it's one of 26 that where brought into the country in 1982 and I think the only one left still running. It was originally the Control Bike for a Ducati Team and I controlled it from New. Never let any of the Racing Riders even look at it they just broke way too much. :D

The local Ducati Dealer here knows his place and I actually trust him but not quite enough to ride the Duc though as Pillion he's quite OK even if he does get concerned about the back wheel not being on the ground when braking. :^0

Besides it's not fast it only goes to 130 KPH in first. :(

But the last time I was riding it I wore out a front Tire before the rear so it must have been getting some work out. :D

Why would you want a newer ex-wife?

by gadgetgirl

good score!

had me giggling.... :p

ok, jd - why WOULD you want a newer model of the ex??!!

(something you wanna tell me, sweetz?! :p )

GG

by w2ktechman

and send her to the TR mother ship! :D
Someone is bound to take her sooner or later.. if not, I beleive the mafia would not mind a freebee to enslave :0

by jdclyde

EVERYONE knows that the 1.0 models are ALWAYS "buggie"... :0

Maybe after the updates and patches, the defects will be gone and it will be a more stable running system?

She used to get pissed because I would tell her to watch herself because she was still under warranty.... :p

by forum surfer

If the old model was buggy and needed too many updates/patches she was obviously a "Windows" ex-wife.

Try the new "Linux" ex-wife. She comes with none of the extra frills, you have to configure her to work in your enviroment and you can make her do whatever you want...obviously she's inflatable, lol.

Disclaimer: No disrespect intended for Windows people, Linux people or inflatable ex-wives was intended with this post.

The Drucati has Perelli's on it at the moment and that's all it's had for the last few years though some time since 92 or there abouts.

Prior to that I was using Michies but not the Road Type nice Smooth ones that gripped like there was no tomorrow. :^0

The Wet Michies where also very good but this bike never when out in the rain back then and the smooth ones looked so mean. :0

The last set of Michies rotted on the rims and ever since then it's had Perrili Road Tires on it but something ratted a bit better than the Phantoms. They just weren't rated for a high enough speed so I never had them on the bike. But I would never exceed the 100 KPH Limit under any circumstances. :D :^0 :D :^0

I actually got out of the last 3 speeding tickets all on Speed Cameras as the last time I was supposedly exceeding the speed limit I was at the Court picking up someone on Jury Service. The Magistrate prevented the Prostitute from approaching the Supreme Court to confirm that [b]SWMBO[/b] was doing the Jury Service and he was told that it was a Criminal Offense to even suggest that something like this be asked. At that point he withdrew all the Police Evidence as he couldn't call me a lier. :D

Col ]:)

by oh smeg

Not to leave your junk there to stay there for ever. :p

Now who here do you think would knowingly accept your Old EX in exchange for something else? ;)

Col

by older mycroft

I was sure it was the same hellfire & brimstone character!

Isn't it a show of disrespect to call The Big Yin a car name ? :D

by w2ktechman

until there is something to swap for :^0

Therefore he can easily rid himself of the ex, until someone goes bargain hunting for an ex :^0 :^0 :^0
