Thanks! I am going to need a rainy day off before that happens.
This will âlearnâ me to be watching the meta categoryâŚ
Sam, if youâre afraid youâll have to overlook it.
Besides, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.
But heâs only three days from retirement! Why put him out in the field like that, chief?
Is he gettinâ too old for this shit?
I am feeling that way about the red tape of work lately. Ahh the joys of being a cog in a great big enterprise computing machineâŚ
donât you mean iCogFactory
?
So, Regulars can edit thread titles too, eh?
Yeah, I forgot about that little bonus.
We could probably move this one into the Lounge so you wouldnât be able to see it any more, but still get notifications every time someone posted in itâŚ
Not that any of the Regulars would ever do that, of course.
Ahem. I know you guys better than that.
Specifically the Regulars would do such a thing.
Ah, somebody upthread told me that if I read every single one of the zillion threads in the past two weeks that Iâd become a capital-R Regular. I had some hours today in a comfy air conditioned room with a fast net connection, whilst I was awaiting my audience with The King, so I did just that. Alas, apparently there is some other criteria I must meet (perhaps longevity? I am pretty new as a BBS commenter) so it didnât work.
I do have some observations, though:
- many of you in the âcount to 10,000â thread are utter bastards;
- I would not take Falcorâs job for all beer in San Diego, even though it is 1,000,000 degrees here today;
- it took me juuuuust under six hours to read every unread message in every thread on every topic that I could find. I was very briefly at all grey in âlatestâ.
Regular or not, that should be a badged achievement.
I canât say I gave every comment all the thought and inspection they deserved, but I can say that every one of them did go past my eyeballs.
You, my fine rodent, are made of sterner stuff than I am. Six hours sounds about what I figured. Iâm never gonna catch upâŚ
