    Oh Well, ...............................belated welcome to sciforums, zion.

    Yeah, cris was a pretty good friend of mine, until I told him that I used to smoke marijuana, like Tiassa. After that, his brit ancestory got thee best of him & he would talk to me NOmore.

    fuck join dates. it is a state of mind that makes sci your community.
    besides, nothing changes. it merely gets recycled. (vomit!)

    lol. I still feel kind of new here. I joined beginning of last year, but after 135 posts i lost the link, and for some reason, couldn't remember the name. Then i found it. and it was all changed so i wasn't sure if it had changed, but i saw sargentlard's name, and remembered where i was. I dunno if you remember sargent, but when you and i were both new here, we had some big debate over scandinavia )and i dont know why), but i remember when Xev and Adam were still posting (a lot) and wet1. cant forget WCF. how weird. seems so long ago, but only like 6 months. and that time gap really killed my posts per day. :m:

    Ah, well,

    Heck, we're all birds of a feather in at least one way. We probably came to this site, in search of original science ideas (even coffee). In fact, I regret saying those things about coffee. I have been much worse than him at times, as any older member will attest. Besides, I do put out some pretty unbelievable ideas (crazy) at times. But that's what I was hoping to find at sciforums to begin with! If I want to read the same old worn out mainstream crap, I'll pick up this month's issue of Scientific American ! ! ! ! I want to know what the amateur science enthusist thinks (YOU)! ! ! That's why I am here. And let me tell ya, if there are even ten members here at sciforums that have really made porfiry's hair curl/stand on end, I am definately in that top ten! MAybe that's why he never banned me......of course, it could be out of sympathy...

    Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!



    Or maybe it's because he KNOWS that I do Completely Fucking LOVE THIS SITE, & my fellow science enthusiasts ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    Come to think of the same old worn out ideas, did anybody pick up on the latest Stephen Hawking chronicles? See, science is very dynamic, & completely uncertain. Even the supposed best-of-the-best can be wrong & more often than not, is!

    ANYHOW!....After being slapped down by the older members (when I was a junior member), I sorta retaliated against those with so little patience for my ideas & decided to be a pain in the ass to the boris's, Tiassa's, cris's, ect.....I didn't want to get rid of them (or anyone) or anything like that. I just wanted to be treated with some respect, or least to have my serious ideas considered and discussed without the snobbery.

    I have always felt that every member here wants the same thing.....to be treated as a colleague, not as a fool.. I try not to treat anyone as a fool, but sometimes after being treated badly myself, I do strike back. It's in my nature. I also do joke around, quite a lot. I always hope that everyone here knows the difference. I have a problem with anyone, who can't laugh. That person needs professional help.

    One of the things that first irritated me, was that the first members here were such great writers. Perfect punctuation, perfect use of commas, ect..................................... HAHA.....(that endless string of periods, slashes......would irritate the hell out of cris).

    But he was also trying to be helpful & I DO appreciate that he was trying to help me. I guess/wish I should have told him that before he quit sciforums.

    It is my hope that I will be helpful, at least in some small way, to others.

    For me, the really important part of sciforums was the original ideas, not so much punctuation. And mostly, I don't say anything about any other member's poor grammer or punctuation. Besides, I am no Earnest Hemingway ! ! ! As long as a member can communicate his/her science ideas, however they do it, I'm happy & don't give a shit about mispellings ! ! !


    PS.........there is one last thing, in regards to posting at sciforums, that I want to address & have everyone here to read:
    For anyone, who is not great at typing, spelling, or punctuation........let me tell ya bubba, it is now almost exactly 1 hour since I started this reply! ! ! ! By the time I have proof read, made changes, corrected typos, and added a little of my own HOWARDSTERN 21st century flair, it will have been at least 1 1/2 hrs. to make this one post ! ! ! Even then, I won't be satisfied with it & I will be aggravated when someone comes back & mis-interprets some point that I was sure that I had made.

    So if you think that it (writing) comes easy..........at least for me.....it does not! I suspect that even, "The Great Tiassa," spends at least a few minutes proof reading & correcting, before he posts.

    Yeah, typing is a pain, when you are trying to communicate a few precise thoughts........maybe someone will invent a neural interface that will convert brain speech into correct text............or maybe even brain-to brain direct modem interfaces.

    Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!



    So until the brain-to-brain interfaces come along, don't feel left out if you have to put in the extra time in your posts, to get your point across. Otherwise you are sure to be misunderstood. It's happened to me more times than not. In fact, that's EXACTLY why my posts are so long. I hate misunderstandings. If I could have communicated these few thoughts with a hundred words or less, believe me, I would have. The devil is always in the details & if you don't detail, then someone won't GET IT! Seems like old cris told me something just like that, several years ago. He Was Right!

    Peace...& knowledge...... :m:

    Cool! I do know that he was taking on quite a bit more at work when I last talked to him in PM's. As he was being moved up the ladder, he had less & less time for Sciforums. His family came first..........as with anyone. :m:

    I think I should be an integral part of sciforums history, because allegedly I brought immaturity to sciforums and made it the hallmark of every post since then by everybody (except goofyfish).
