I infer, ageless, that you are implying a great level of illiteracy amongst the great minds that post on these boards. Too bloody right.

Pascal,

Didn't you say in the Number Crunching Forum that you copied these rules and you were going to post them? (Your post #101978)

And it's "stinking badgers", because Mexican banditos of that period hated to eat any kind of rodent.

You guys need to relax and unwound a little, or is it if you are not apart of the clique you can not do as you do do ....

In otherwords you show your NC hypocrisy by spamming the Cafe.
I can forgive you, Pascal, but only if these were your last dying words.

lololol spamming the Cafe lolololol


Oh no I have not forgotten about the rules and misfit I hope you go first buddy, and not say a word .............

A few general quidelines about quoting:
By Bjon T Jonsson

1. Do not quote the entire message you're replying to.
2. Quote only the part(s) you want to comment.
3. Do not use quote marks around/before your own text.
4. Do not include pictures in the quote.
5. Do not include signatures in the quote.
6. When you're replying to a message directly below, there's often unnecessary to quote anything at all. Remember that quotes are used only to remind the original poster (and other readers) of what was said, so to avoid misunderstandings.
7. Please use a blank line between the quote and your own text, to make it more visible in a glance what is what.
8. Do not include trailing blank line(s) in the quote.
9. Do not quote the same post more than once directly after another, if you still can edit the first of your replies (within an hour).
10. Some things are probably missing in the 9 points above, so use common sense to compensate.

Three more that I think need mentioning:
11 Post number-crunching issues in Numbers and scientific issues in Science. If neither one is appropriate, post in the Café.
12 Link to posts in other Fora - There's no need to have multiple copies of a message.
13 If you intend to use the [pre] tag, wrap at 80 columns. If you don't understand that, don't use [pre]


Rule 11 applies in this case........

Until you can lift yourself out of your chair under your own power you're not in a position to be making any challenges. I know you're pic is somewhere on SETI's database. I'll try to find it for you. You know your heart can't take a flame war.

BITE ME!

11 Post number-crunching issues in Numbers and scientific issues in Science. If neither one is appropriate, post in the Café.


Who started a flame war, me thinks you need to look in the mirror or into your sole.....lolol
