Perhaps some sort of newbie member data pack might be in order? While watching the pretty-pretty graphics is all very fascinating, it's all very confusing for us mere mortals. For example: as a musician, I know what a triplet is, but what's it doing here? Or a Gaussian line? As for the political ramifictiation of the Cafe or Team Membership, well, I haven't seen this sort of back-biting since high school!!! I'Ve already inadvertently made one enemy for life, for no other reason than trying to be helpful. Reading your message boards has been fascinating, but more than a little mystifying. So, if one of you geniusÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s could take a little pity and help us newcomers figure it all out, it'd be much appreciated. ID: 538080 ·

She's hosting Really Good Knee Slappers - a joke thread. Some pretty bawdy, just enough that the mods don't get us. BTW, relax a little on all those terms & stuff. You'll pick 'em up along the way. Hell, a Gaussian line? I don't even know that. I suppose I could look it up, If I felt like it. EDIT OK, it was driving me crazy. I looked it up... Gaussian function From Wikipedia.

Some have in-fighting, apparently, but others do not. Only on the Internet, eh, that one can find this kind of back-biting among the 21 and over crowd, eh? And what's this "Too old to play with college boys, too young to be a cougar thing," eh? What have cougars to do with it, eh?
