It is a common trolling technique to badmouth the regulars in a group;
it's a good way for them to get an emotional response which they then
exploit to further their enjoyment of pissing people off and/or
wasting their time. Best way to deal with a troll is to deprive it
of the attention that it wants. Killfiles work for this quite
effectively; perhaps you might consider trying it. Then the only
time you see the troll's work is when someone else quotes them.

What I find interesting is your attempt to equate the practice of using a
quote from a philosopher, an esteemed author or an otherwise honored
individual to the practice of placing a bumper sticker on one's car.
Could it be Dave that this indicates your highest level of literary
achievement and therefore you simply do not possess the ability to
appreciate another's eloquent use of language skills as do the men you
mentioned?
BTW, the miscreants should take a lesson from you, Paul. I

Well, now see, you will soon discover the first rule of DVD storage: No
matter what you build, your collection will grow to exceed it. Actually,
mine significantly exceeds it...time to dump some DVD's.
Or, for hard disk space: No matter how big your hard disk is, the amount
of free space is a constant.

If I know of a better way of cutting a joint, and that knowledge comes

If I hear from my Grandpop that there was a better way of tuning up a

I'm guessing that his statement was kinda meant to be a dig. It might
have been more pertinent and more accepted if he wouldn't have
mentioned names in his query.
But it IS an interesting question.
Why do folks think that they need to quote from someone other than
THEMSELVES?! Its almost like they're proud of having found something
they find more clever and/or interesting and memorable than what
THEY'VE posted!
Maybe we should make this a woodworking project for this weekend. If
you want (everybody), sit in your quiet space and think of a tag line
from YOU. Why quote from a person who, quite frankly, you might think
is MORE worthy of a quote than yourself?
Most of my tag lines I've created myself. Most are meant to be
comical and flippant...like the Joan Rivers tag. But some are meant
to be more thought provoking...like the one I'll use this weekend.
Anyway...I'd like to see some home grown tag lines. There are some
very knowledgeable, interesting people here. Surely they should be
able to say something at the end that is more current and meaningful
than from someone who died 100 years ago.
Just my 2 cents...
Remember to honor our troops...past and present.
And have a nice Memorial Day weekend.
Trent©
I'm impressed! You did an superb job of creating an

BTW, once in a great while, I will consult a dictionary.
I'm gonna go out on a limb, without searching the net, to

I'm impressed! You did an superb job of creating an entertaining post.

He was only partially right. Lack of rudeness in return is
sometimes mistaken for weakness; therefore, rudneess is sometimes the
only viable defense. The downside to rudeness in return, is that then
it is often mistaken for approval of one's own rude actions.
Let me put it this way: I consider your first post rude, impolite,
discriminatory, totally uncalled for, totally uncalled for, with no
finesse. There was no intent whatsoever on my part to impress, and/or
entrertain, you. I just figured I should be polite, rather than
out-and-out calling you an asshole, and/or dipshit, in a public group.
Well, I did accomplish my goal; I got thru it without calling you
any nasty names at all.
As an aside, I looked up the acronym BAD. Didn't find Bay Area
Dave, but did find the following:
Balls Attitude Direction
Bank Account Debits Tax (Australia) Bank Avalized Draft
Banque Africaine de Developpement (AFDB)
Bates After Dark
Bathymetric Archive Data
Behind-Armor Debris
Big Audio Dynamite (band)
Biological Aerosol Detection
Bipolar Affective Disorder
British Association of Dermatologists Broadband Access Device (Sprint)
Broken As Designed
Bureau of Alien Detectors
JOAT
If you're offered free wood, take it, period; figure out what to use it
for later.

Cranky? Hardly. Bipolar? Been reading your meds bottle again?
I'm just enjoying the day; check my response to Dave. Hehehe
By the way Homer, at one time we had a "gentlemen's agreement" not
to do this type of thing. But, your starting post negated that.
By the way, how can I be sure if this response was from the real
Homer? After all, it did have capitals, and punctuation. I'm a bit
suspicious, I'm thinking this one could be from a different troll. LMAO

trust me; I'm me. How could we have had a "gentlemen's
agreement" when neither one of us is a true gentleman. I'll
strive harder in the future to avoid caps and punctuation.
