Hello Ludwig, has it really been 18 months? Time really does fly.

And for the record, given the confusion of late in this thread, Lilith was not Ginx or Fractelle or anyone else from OLO or Cyberia.

I was trying to think of a tv soap story line for my return, like being the long lost twin who has been in a coma - but I have a headache.

Belly:” Yes we should respect each other, no we need not get angry other ways exist to handle a problem.”

Hey Belly babe, mostly I agree but anger, passion etc do add some spice.

Did Squeers survive his protest? I was wondering if it crossed the "aruging a moderation decision" line.

Hello Jewely.
Squeers remains intact and unmolested, but aloof from the latter proceedings here (in truth he's a bit of a snob).

Jewely says:

"Hello Ludwig, has it really been 18 months? Time really does fly."

And so did Amelia Earhart.

"Obviously I faced the possibility of
not returning when first I considered going.
Once faced and settled there really
wasn't any good reason to refer to it."

A brilliant riposte in each case on behalf of the Llilliths, Jewely. Right up there (or down, as the case may be) with some of the work of Antoine, Antoine de Saint-Exupery. "The aeroplane has unveiled for us the true face of the earth."

Ludwig in turn asks:

"So um, Gumppy, you old statistician you,
does this record only count on the general
discussion part of the general discussion
half of the forum? How does it compare to
the other sections of this half of the forum
or with the articles half?"

Everybody can see for themselves, here: http://bit.ly/eqTxUz

Just for Belly's peace of mind, the tab in my 'Modzilla' Firefox browser (that jinny thinks betrays 'addiction') saying 'Shorten' is not a dirt file on Bill, but a link shortener, as the mouse-over shows.

To get this display for yourself, just click the 'having been started' button on the index page, select 'all discussions', click the bold text 'posts', then the 'display' button. Then wait. After a while you will see the top five of all time in all four General Discussion categories.

Be prepared to wait much much longer for a result if you try this general approach in the Articles index.

Jewely, "And for the record, given the confusion of late in this thread, Lilith was not Ginx or Fractelle or anyone else from OLO or Cyberia."

What makes you say that?

Hey Corny, Lilith had made it clear she knew Pied and had for a long time on evony.

Thanks for doing that screen shot Forrest. It appears we are in competition with a footy sex scandal. I don’t believe we can out talk sport and sex here.

Gender and fair play maybe. :P

Impersonating, flaming, baiting, provoking, off-topic, the sock puppet thing, personal agendas, narking, protests, trolling, private e-mails flying all over the place accusing people of being other people plus the public announcements of ID changes.

Has been the strangest thread with examples of all of the above - I thought maybe we had some rather short and central rules to follow here but it looks like nothing about them are simple.

But they are altogether so much simpler than the ever changing rules and spontaneous appearances of new ones in real life that jump up and scare the crap out of you.

first n foremost, i would like to withdraw my suggestion of Belly as a Moderator. i am glad i did not post what i wrote earlier when i read what you post, coz then i would be sinking to your level.

Cornflower: that is gold! thank you so much. i was giving you virtual standing ovation for that. i didn't know that before , n boy it does look like i'm one too. i gv the link to this hardcore 4chan hightech mate of mind(who is a supertroll) and briefly ask him to pay this thread a visit. i think he could've died laughing. he said ijits in denial(this thread). we used to study computers together. hahahaha

Belly: i corrected that, i said mangligh:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manglish
the caps lock is coz i hooked the laptop up yest so the kids and whoever else can watch good movies on big screen so i used my phone and it is automated, comprande amigo? hallo, you help yourself, i'm helping myself. so dungu

Poirot: i second that! yay!(sorry, i don't mean any harm, n i don't mean to upset any of yous, it just happens)

FG: i wish i had your time. u have one browser open, i have 2 at least. one with 4 windows, each with usually 10-20 pages open. i don't hv ur knowledge, i know u hv a lot, i know u are sharing, but ur riddles takes so much time to decode. i don't hv the time. ur so complicated! i will try when i'm bored and hv more time. thx anyways.

why do ppl watch desperate housewives when OLO is so much more interesting with so much more gossip and excitement :)
