Interesting, Misfit. Why do you start a thread about forum rules, and then even endorse NA's post, when you said this earlier? ID: 113130 · |

Didn't he just ask Rob to make it sticky? That's good enough endorsement for me! :) ID: 113132 · |

I am seeking attention? You couldn't be more wrong. Besides, you are the one with 4800+ posts - not me... I just want to show everyone how false you are. Anyone can compare the rules posted by NA below here with the link I provided and see for themselves the striking similarities. And the excuse about Cafe not being Cruncher forum is... well, I wish just now I had one of those bashing signs you spread around to everybody... but let me just call it lame. You've lost whatever credibilty you had left. So, you didn't quote me directly. That's right. Instead, you supported another guy who also didn't have the guts to quote me directly! You and him just "had to" express your detest, right? Well, I'm glad you got it out - good for you! You are one of those guys I had in mind when I proposed the quoting rules in Cruncher's forum. And you constantly chit-chat with your Cafe buddies in the wrong forum - including the thread we're talking about here. Yesterday was my first post here in Cafe. I only posted to expose your double moral in this thread. Now I'm leaving for a better forum. ID: 113343 · |

.... I really did like this though. Quoting the two previous posts in blatant violation of rule 4 ;-) Kolch - Crunching for the BOINC@Australia team since July 2004. Search for your own intelligence... ID: 114595 · |

On more occasions than not, I have been replying to a post that was top of the list. After replying and posting, I saw that there were anywhere from 3 to 5 posts [and sometimes more] between mine and the one I replied to. CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS?
