    titles and labels

    who cares? titles, we all know who know's what, and i don't know jack,

    some people don't have lives, or limited lives, hey this ain't a bad alternative for a fake life,hence being here to chat, and making friends and enemies.

    it's a forum for chrissakes

    this forum should be so lucky as to be able to knight those who deserve and those who does not. and for those knighted to stay active, thats ideal.

    or they can conviently re-title guru's something else,
    it's a mixed bag so is life.

    i dunno who structured it that way but i think, if you have spent enuff time here to interact, some exsive xs ideas will penistrate the brain,

    and is it? not up to the person's intelligence to determine if that exposure amounts to attaining enuff xs knowhow to give wisdom?

    i know i should stop typing for i would never live up to guru.

    i know one thing i know alot more about this bike since "hanging out" with yawl

    is it good? is it bad? or is it just the way it is, craigs list allows flag's

    so would censorship help or hurt in this case.

      Fluffy don't hurt,......... much

      ]Originally posted by P rom
      (Or, as in my case, mocking and insulting people who deserve it. Ok, even those who don't deserve it, but sometimes it's hard for me to tell)
      OK, so I took a look at the members list and wtf, #9....
      Would not have posted so many times but....hard to resist not poking and stirring the pot with Prom.

      Have not the years a lota guys have on the XS, and have yet to finish a complete restore (slowly working on one) but have rebuilt a few and have helped out a few others locally. XS kinda fits with my nature to be XSive. Not being the Admin or a moderator I don't pay to much attention to posts I'm not interested in, NOT MY JOB.

        Pot is Black?

        I say who's callin' the pot black? There is enough fluff for/from many more and that's what makes it interesting. If you can't meet people face to face, you can learn lots about them just by listening/lurking. When the real problems arise with these beasts though, this is still the best resource there is for answers.

            I love talking/ debating with people on the forum. Thats what the members lounge is for. I am always learning from fellow Xsesives and I like helping others while I am at it.

              'Help me here, Mason."

              will penistrate the brain,
              I thought "long and hard" about this phrase, but still can't figger out your meaning.

              If you can't meet people face to face, you can learn lots about them just by listening/lurking.
              Quite true, Planedick.
              As it's also true that by listening/lurking, people have learned enough about me that they'd rather not meet face to face.

              Hhmm.. suppose everyone, in real life, were just as they present themselves here?
              Does T.C., in his daily working rituals, speak only in puns?
              Does MRO omit whole words when he speaks, or is it just his lack-luster typing skills?
              What about the above quoted phrase from Mason? Spelling error... or is something else wrong up stairs?
              What about me? In real life, am I really cruel, bitter and heartless? (ok, bad example)

                Oh no Mr Prom , many a time you've helped out people, both in real life, and here on the boards. Your efforts are always informative and entertaining, and I look forward to your posts to enlighten me and to lighten up my day

                    Install Flash. That should solve the problem. A lot of the videos he's posted are very cool and some are very obscure. I've seen Mad max over 9000 times on cable, so I skip those.

                      Well, guru or no guru I have learned a bunch since joining this forum. And one of the best parts is that it is filled with some wit and laughter amongst the knowledge. And while benefiting from the knowledge here I like to think I may have helped someone along the way.


                      Anyone notice Midnight has not posted on this thread???

                        With the knowledge part of the guru status comes a bit of confidence in diagnosis...however, I have recently learned yet again that restraint and double checking of facts is key to giving out good information... hopefully I'll be better at this in the next 60 or so posts.

                              But *which* flash player do you have? Do you have the current, which I believe is 9?
