Ummm. I'll need time to think about that.
I've thought about it.
Yes.

Yes.
Why do you think I'm an idiot? [:(] What have I done or said that makes you think that? Because I stand up against people making fun of me does not make me an idiot, quite the contrary - please explain. In order to maintain respect, one must back up insults such as claims of idiocy. Would you not agree with me? So, please explain.

Paul has me pegged as an imbecile too, Julie. I wouldn't worry.
He's either a real or honorary Notherner, thinks Harry Potter is a load of rubbish (and by extension anyone who likes it is an imbecile), never says "wow" on job interviews or elsewhere, and has been known to enjoy the occasional beamer.

Nick-
This was hilarious! Maybe the only time I've laughed out loud reading a post - good work. What is he thinking anyway, making fun of a girl? [:D]

Oh Nick - you bought that up again. Oh wow! Wow! I can't believe you bought that up again. Wow!
I'm an expert in comparative English grammar btw.
Get my drift Julie? Or is it someone else?
Is there anybody out there?

I think that you'll find that PaulR couldn't give a rat's a*s about maintaining respect [:D]
However, for your future reference here are a few (unrequested) tips in order to avoid being laughed at:
1) Don't ask people if they think that you're an idiot (even without the question mark); the answer will always be "yes".
2) Don't state that something is an obvious necessity, when it is not obvious to the company making the product.
3) Try to make a few helpful posts on a forum from time to time to avoid being classed as a troublemaker by other users. You may not care what they think of you, but they might be able to help you occasionally. This one is my favourite as there have been times (on other forums) where I've tried to help only to be "cut down to size" by the original poster. Do you think that I've ever helped them again? Not on your life.........!
4) Chill out a bit; it's only a sample library forum.
5) Oh yes, and ignore me; at my age I'm probably senile anyway [*-)]

So, by saying 'you thought was an insult,' your implying that I'm not even smart enough to be an idiot? I was hoping it wasn't that simplistic, and that you weren't insulting me yet again for no reason. I guess Nick is right, you are just ornery. I'll know to steer clear of you in the future.

Omigod I can't believe it! That's like so totally cool.
You are *so* brillianter than us Markins.

Glad to see PaulR is being his usual helpful self. As a past "victim" (for victim read someone who had to endure post after post of drivel from the man before I realised what a waste of time it and he was), you have my sympathy, but you will get over him in, ummmm, 2 seconds...
Rite of Spring is the first 20th century piece I was exposed to early in life, and remains one of my favourite modern pieces. It was written specifically so that VSL epic horns could be used in synth orchestral mock up situations when the library released them.

I recommend you watch School for Scoundrels. Then maybe you'll stop being a victim. Or a fucking idiot - if you prefer.
When you know anything that's worth me commenting on - then maybe you'll get some help - until then - you're on your own.

DG,
You could never be considered senile.
Some more tips.
Take everything with a pinch of salt.
The best humour is laughing at yourself first. Anything after that is a bonus.
A sense of humour is like mulitlayered samples. You can be a tremolo, Legato, Pizzicato, or at the reactionary end, a messy soprano. And a sense of humour comes with dynamics too!
And for what it's worth, I'm not that fond of Harry Potter either. Sold a lot of books, and the marketing's fabulous, but the writing's long winded.
Regards to you all,
Alex.
p.s. I can be articulate, I can be intelliigent, and i can still use my brain for something else besides taking the bait.

Yeah - I can be positive, I can be negative, and I can speak my mind....
AND NOW I WAN'T MY MOMMA! WHAAAAAAA! WHAAAA! MOMMA!!! WHAAAAA!
Next time you open you mouth, don't go shouting for the moderators because you decided to make a fool of yourself. You spoke your - and then you got an answer.
