The same stats get posted over at AAJ. 

I'm curious as to why you seem so determined to pigeonhole this board as a hostile, inhospitable environment when it's not.  You accused me of trying to put you in a box, but frankly you're the one trying to do the "boxing" here. 

If you're asking people to suppress their happiness that this is an active and intellectually stimulating board, then I think you're asking too much.

I have no idea what you are referring to.

The tone of your posts is aggressive.

Che.

You dig up a thread that hasn't been posted in for 18 days solely to imply that we're gloating over some stats and say my tone is aggressive? Look, I'm sorry... I hope that you hang around, truly, but you've been trying to pick fights with posters here all day long, and it's getting to be quite boring. I've run out of diplomatic steam... hope to encounter you again on a music thread sometime.

I am still discovering this board, I have been involved for a few days, I discovered the thread whilst I was looking 'around'. You have been here much longer, posted many more replies and seem to know what is going on.

In the short time I have been involved wioth the board I have already met some people that I find thoughtful and respectful, Africabrass is one of them ( sorry to mention you name B-)

I have not the slightest intention to 'pick a fight', there is no possible reason why I would do this. I have many ideas and thoughts, and as I mentioned on another thread, I find the ideas that people have and my responces to be a way of relaxing from a very stressed world.

Che.

Well, cool. This is generally about as relaxed a place as you're going to find... like many things, people will get out of it what they put into it. And most folks here are always ready to smoke a peace pipe--and what they get out of that most certainly depends on what they put into it!

che, if you're going to be judgemental about people, don't be so friggin' surprised when they get surly on you, okay?

Yes, I know the tone of this post is agressive. Deal with it.

More like the Marx Brothers, I'd say. B-)

Spaulding: What do you fellas get an hour?

Ravelli: For playing, we get-a ten dollars an hour.

Spaulding: I see. What do you get for not playing?

Ravelli: Twelve dollars an hour.

Spaulding: Well, clip me off a piece of that.

Ravelli: Now for rehearsing, we make special rate. That's-a fifteen dollars an hour...That's-a for rehearsing.

Spaulding: And what do you get for not rehearsing?

Ravelli: You couldn't afford it. You see, if we don't rehearse, we a-don't play, and if we don't play (he snaps his finger) - that runs into money.

Spaulding: How much would you want to run into an open manhole?

Ravelli: Just-a the cover charge! Ha, ha, ha.

Spaulding: Well, drop in some time.

Ravelli: Sewer.

Spaulding: Well, we cleaned that up pretty well.

Ravelli: Well, let's see how-a we stand.

Spaulding: Flat-footed.

Ravelli: Yesterday, we didn't come. (To Mrs. Rittenhouse) You remember, yesterday we didn't come?

Spaulding: Oh, I remember.

Ravelli: Yes, that's three hundred dollars.

Spaulding: Yesterday, you didn't come, that's three hundred dollars?

Ravelli: Yes, three hundred dollars.

Spaulding: Well, that's reasonable. I can see that alright.

Ravelli: Now today, we did come. That's-a (pause)..

Spaulding: That's a hundred you owe us.

Ravelli: Hey, I bet I'm gonna lose on the deal. Tomorrow we leave. That's worth about (pause)..

Spaulding: A million dollars.

Spaulding:  Now then, in re yours of the fifteenth, yours to hand and made to rep, brackets, that we have gone over the ground carefully and we seem to believe, i.e., to wit, e.g., in lieu, that, uh, despite all our precautionary measures which have been involved, uh, we seem to believe that it is hardly necessary for us to proceed unless we, uh, receive an ipso facto that is not negligible at this moment, quotes, unquotes and quotes. Uh. Hoping this finds you, I beg to remain...as of June 9, cordially yours. Regards.

Jamison: 'In care of Hungadunga, Hungadunga, Hungadunga, and McCormack...'

Spaulding: You've left out a Hungadunga! You've left out the main one, too. Thought you could slip one over on me, didn't you, eh? All right, leave it out and put in a windshield wiper instead. I tell you what you do, Jamison. I tell you what. Make it, uh, make it three windshield wipers and one Hungadunga. They won't all be there when the letter arrives, anyhow.

Jamison: 'Hungadunga, Hungadunga, Hungadunga...and McCormack.'

Spaulding: '...and McCormack.'

Jamison: 'Gentlemen, question mark.'

Spaulding: 'Gentlemen, Question Mark!!' Put it on the penultimate, not on the dipthonic. You want to brush up on your Greek, Jamison. Well, get a Greek and brush up on him!

Jamison: 'In re yours of the fifteenth.'

Spaulding: I see.

Jamison: Now, uh, you said a lot of things here that I didn't think were important, so I just omitted them.

Mrs. Rittenhouse: Well!...(Spaulding swings at his head and misses.) Whoa, Captain! Good gracious! Oh, my!

Spaulding: So...you just omitted them, eh? ...You just omitted the body of the letter, that's all. You've just left out the body of the letter, that's all! Yours not to reason why, Jamison! You've left out the body of the letter!...All right, send it that way and tell them the body'll follow.

Jamison: Do you want the body in brackets?

Spaulding: No, it will never get there in brackets. Put it in a box. Put it in a box and mark it 'fragilly'.

Jamison: Mark it what?

Spaulding: Mark it 'fragilly.' F - R - A - G...Look it up, Jamison. It's in the dictionary. Look under 'fragile'. Look under the table if you don't find it there.

Jamison: 'Quotes, unquotes, and quotes.'

Spaulding: That's three quotes?

Jamison: Yes, sir.

Spaulding: Add another quote and make it a gallon. How much is it a gallon, Jamison?

Jamison: 'Regards.'

Spaulding: 'Regards.' That's a fine letter, Jamison. That's an epic. That's dandy. Now I want you to make two carbon copies of that letter and throw the original away. And when you get through with that, throw the carbon copies away. Just send the stamp, airmail. That's all. You may go, Jamison. I may go too.

In the short time I have been involved with this board, I have a sense that there are a few posters, that have opinions on almost any subject and 1000's and 1000's of post later, they still have the same views and opinions.

Your last post is exactly what I mean by "game".

It's total bullshit.

Why don't you show us how it's done? Post some of the many thoughts and ideas you've mentioned so often.

Wonder what his thoughts are on SACD?

Biology teacher: Now, let us go on with our lecture.

Wagstaff: I wish you'd go on without your lecture.

Biology teacher (asking Wagstaff about his view in the microscope): What do you think of that slide?

Wagstaff: Well, I think he was safe at second, but it was very close.

Biology teacher: Now, let us examine the circulatory system. Here is the liver.

Wagstaff: What! No bacon! I'd send that back if I were you.

Biology teacher: The liver, if neglected, invariably leads to cirrhosis. Of course, you are all familiar with the symptoms of cirrhosis.

Baravelli: Sure. So roses are red. So violets are blue. So sugar is sweet. So so are you.

Wagstaff: I can't see him, and I bet I know who it is.

Biology teacher: For the protection of the heart, or cardium, Mother Nature has provided a sac, called the pericardium. Any questions?

Baravelli: Yes. When you gonna cut the watermelon open?

Wagstaff (challenging the professor): ...Is this stuff on the level or are you just making it up as you go along. My feet are getting tired from this walk.

Biology teacher: Why, everything I told you can be found in the simplest text book on anatomy. I'm sure my students will bear me out.

Baravelli:  We bear you out!

(The teacher is borne out of the classroom into the corridor, literally, by the two new students.)
