The test is obviously too short to do any real measurements, but it's
fun, wot?

Yes, fun is good.


I can't, in good conscience, vote for the current Republican or
Democratic candidates this year. And I know that Bob Barr won't win
on the Libertarian ticket, so I've decided to backing this exciting
new candidate. He disdains politicians, war, and pork, so please give
him a good looking over, Ed.

Since 'None of the Above' isn't an offering on ballots yet, I hope
you'll join me in voting for this new candidate.

ROFLMAO!! Oh, God, that's FUNNY!

Where in the heck did you find that? It's brilliant. d8-)))

A friend sent it in an email the day before yesterday. At the end of
the video, it asks if you want to create your own, so I did, free.
It's a really fun trick to play on your friends, isn't it?

Yes. I'd love to play it on my brother-in-law.

Buerste, I've been trying to figure out who you are. I think I've got it
now. So without giving you away, you're based in the Rust Belt and use
many miles of steel wire each week, right?

Good job, Chris! You may have two cookies.

Sorry, I must have been slow that day :-). I think the thing that
confused me was the way he signed the post "Thanks, Buerste". He never
signed his posts with a name in the past, and I guess I was looking for
a pattern.

The "ue" is just what you write when you haven't got a "u" with an
umlaut above it on your keyboard, isn't it? Nick will be able to tell us
for sure...


Nick MULEler? I don't receive his broadcasts any more. His or
Cliffy's, etc.

I don't have a killfile, and yet I haven't seen Nick post in a while
either. I wonder if he has abandoned rec.crafts.metalworking.

I feel a bit bad if we drove him a way. He is a genuine metalworker who
makes some great models.

Umlaut! I knew there was a simpler word for them thangs but I'd
forgotten.

When his whining about OT posts got to the 12:1 noise-to-signal ratio,
I tuned him out like a bad opera. His off-topic whining (despite his
arrogant denial about it being on-topic) was worse than noise.
"Good riddance" if he's gone.
