Owning your own computer is no small feat. You are many steps away from a dirt floor and cold food, if that. I know.

I celebrate with you.

by santeewelding

I think, in Tim's case. He is rising to them; you, I think, may be shrinking from them.

He gets to sort it out on his own, maybe with help and encouragement, deciding only after enough, to continue rising or to shrink.

Me? I make ready to abandon them at the slightest sign of contretemp.

Who in the name of God reported his post as "spam"?

You and me, we need to do more than just talk.

Come out, whoever you are.

Please let us know if you need any help with your computer. It sounds like you are doing fine. Have fun!

Alright, who hit the button? There's not the slightest scent of pork here. He's not selling, swearing, or sniping.

I was certain that I am not the only one who notices disappearing, cowardly behavior when the light comes on.

wears the white hats around here, guys.

Screaming machine, Tim. I don't think I'll race mine against yours.

Nice of Tim to post. Eclectic capitalisation, yes, but definitely not spam.

Hi, Tim.

:)

Santee, the commas I leave for you.

by santeewelding

Tim has been long observing the posting behavior of members here. He mirrors their capitalization habits. As to commas, he is clearly in revolt.

As to who pushed the button, step up. Tim has made plain who he is and what he is about. Do the same.

I believe Tim's post rather more the opposite of spam. It was written thoughtfully, and with care. It is interesting. The selected tags actually make sense relative to the content of the post.

I can't understand why anyone would reasonably mark Tim's post as spam. But I think santee has this very well covered.

Hi Tim... You're doing great, better than most of the new comers that show up here.

It can get a little crazy here, but there is a great group of core members. :)
Enjoy your newly invigorated computer! :D
BTW, can you read your entire post without taking a breath? ;)

If you are still with this, I don't think that whoever gave you a thumbs-down has the balls to present (him}self.

You have the balls. As you can see, there are many here who also have balls. I am -- we are -- completely behind you. You are fully one of us.

This other person is androgynous. Don't worry about, "androgynous". The other person has to worry about it. Having balls, that is.

Now, you keep your piece. You have no need whatsoever to join in on these tangential matters. You just -- if you wish -- keep on being direct.

We are here for you.

I used to work in a warehouse where we did a lot of collation and packaging for shipment, too. I counted and pulled the bulk items for other people to collate or label. Data sheets and binders, manuals, samples, displays, and promotional items.

I remember changing from dialup to DSL - I'm glad you could, too! I think it would be really cool to have 5 Gigs of memory in my computer, I only have 1 Gig. You must have worked hard for that, so I hope you enjoy it. :)

If you type like this again, I think I'll have to use my secret contacts to find your home and burn your pets.

It's painful to my brain, hence I have not read your post past the first sentence.

by nexs

A few places I could have Santee-fied my sentences, but I chose to make it as simple as possible.

Stampede of a bunch of Untethered Elephants running amok.

Now who is responsible for not hobbling them in the first place and they have to clean up the mess that their Elephants are in the process of making. ;)

OH and if you see any Elephants coming your way bellowing get out of their way. They are heavy and hurt like Hell when they trample you into the ground or whatever you happen to be standing on when they get to you. :D

Because if you blame me, I might have to visit the virtual African Bazaar.

1940s, American radio show, "Our Miss Brooks" (voice of Eve Arden).

Mr. "Osgood Conklin" was principal of a high school in which Miss Brooks was the English teacher.

One day students were listening to a shortwave radio broadcast about an impending typhoon in India. Conklin overheard some of it. Of course, the writers of the show had Conklin reacting as though the typhoon were headed straight for the high school.

Amid all his mad dashing about with preparations recommended in the broadcast, there came the grave intonation:

"Tether your elephants."

This was radio. You had to imagine for yourself Conklin's facial expression which, in today's parlance, would be something like, WTF?

Nexus: think twice next time you go telling someone what may happen to their pets.

by hal 9000

I don't need an excuse at all.

But if this helps those new Effulant Hobbles that you bought must have been faulty and broke allowing the Elephants to stampede.

I told you previously that Welded Steel Hobbles bought in Santee where defiantly not the answer. Elephants are much stronger than that. :0

[i]edited to add[/i] doing this is far more fun than applying Bumps. :D

And amusing. Though I had understood the meaning before your lesson.

I care very little for your threats, they are less interesting, and far less thought provoking than your anecdotes.

by seanferd

You nailed it with that metaphor. It's a name painting for part of the santeeGestalt I get over the internets. You seem to have gotten that angle, too.
