Your Fonts, Haunt

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TB2K spinoff uncensored : One Thread

For those of us who think this place is one "big snuggy blanket", and we are friends (or not) socializing, around the fire. I have just been on a Homework trail from Hell. There are Web Search pages which search out Forum Posts only, and you can search on a handle. Search brings up every post that handle made. Dis-jointed and ugly. I looked for any of our "handles" Thank Heaven, I did not reconize any of them. But I read, post after post, originally designed for one forum, not the whole World. Now you are gonna all stand up and yell "Liar, Where is the proof!". I took no proof, from my first visit. I was too shocked. Maybe tomorrow, I will have more fortitude. And if you can't wait, do Your Homework, on your own.

Homework, you have entirely too much time on your hands. Why not go do something more useful, like clean out your underwear drawer? It's Marti Gras. Go collect some beads. Leave the posts to read each other, and let the sleeping dogs lie. Owwwwwwwwwww!

I know at least 100 of each of Hawk's, Bubba's, Niteowl, etc. etc. If those are the kinds of handles you're talking about. Heck, there's at least 46 Ladylogic's on AOL alone.

So what's your concern?

Sharing, I am a very private person (whatever that means). I was struck about the garbled one sided messages, and also that there is a "Gatherer" that can seek out, or would even want to seek (zero in) one small handle. I can only imagine how stupid one of my infrequent posts might read to others, if they could not see the question/statement I addressed. Also, I try to never put fingers to keyboard, unless I can offer something to someone. And for another, to take my words, void of any other Human interaction I was having, just blows me away. Takes the Human upon Human out of focus, and places Font, upon a screen, devoid of one's attempted kindness to another.

QUICKLY! Does anyone know if the news group "Alt.CUDDLE" still exists? Send this poster there. That place was tailor-made for such a sweetie. You are newbie flame bait to the max. Go to 101 before it's too late.

Yeah, for example, Homework's cognitive style deeply resembles Lady's, but who's counting?

Lord willing, and the creek don't rise, I will put you all to bed, because my Faith, does not waiver ( damn tired, I am too).

Homework,

I've read this whole thread, and I have a question: What the H are you trying to ask?

Dear Someone, the whole text had to do with while we think we sit in this small community. of friend upon friend. This is really not the real world. There are others (with nothing better to do, or otherwise gainful employment "than to dwell upon our every word, like the Hell We know what is going on. "They" don't know what the Hell is going on, they look to us, like we have a clue. LOL, Monkeys looking at Monkeys! Kiss !

I'm sure this will all make a lot of sense after a good night's sleep.

WOW! Homework, thanks for the tip! You weren't kidding!

Went to the AOL search engine and typed in our company name, and it brought up EVERY post to EVERY web site, for the last three years. Almost had a heart attack!

Homework is trying to remind us, that every little thing posted here, can be brought up by anyone with a search engine: your employer, wife or husband, co-workers, gubment, whoever!
