So I have to go kill.. *pulls out TI-83 calculator, plays ZTetris for awhile, then looks up* 47 lines? .. Whoops, I mean, 215.67 voters? Yay, fun.. *pulls out his ShadowSpat and walks down the line of voters, lopping off heads as he goes* 1, 2, 3, 4... <- Next -> Questionmark: >Ditto here. I saw your reformatted version fine, Yoru's came out looking >strange. The reverse will probably be true when it's archived, though. Depends on the mailreader... A monospace reader should work fine with mine, while a dynamic-spaced reader works better with Brad's, I think.. <- Next -> Shadow: >P.S.- What does MO stand for? "Matome Okuri" --> Mail Digest, IIRC.. >I do not understand why some of you don't bash him so much. Sure >he probably should multi-reply and stop forming so many factions (unless he is >trying to corner the faction scene.) But he doesn't harm anyone by not doing >those things. Actually.. --> There's a thing called "Courtesy".. Multireplying is part of it on this list. If EVERYONE didn't MR, especially some of our more prolific posters, then the MO's would double and triple in size, due to the fact that a mail header is put before each message. Also, it's insanely annoying to open a 6K MO and find 6 two-line messages from the same person. It's worse when there's other posts mixed in, as well. Here's a proposal.. Shadow, do you really want to see what the ML would be like if everyone was like Czarfire and didn't MR? --> I call for a ONE-DAY ban on MR-ing, just to make my point. We can plan this out, so it's not chaotic.. Start and end on a specific MO, etc, etc. Everyone simply puts each reply in a seperate message, no matter how small or insignificant. --> Note that this is just an experiment. I'm hypothesizing that: 1) The MO's will at least double (25k --> 50k) in size. 2) It'll be insanely annoying to read anything that day. 3) This will convince people that MRing is a GOOD THING, that people should be coaxed to do. As for the factions, I couldn't give a rat's patoot. I'm in two, one of which is a non-ML faction, and isn't really a faction, per se. (AFG, in case you're wondering). And the only other faction I've even plans to check out is EOE.. And that's a long time off. <- Next -> Jim Lazar: >No way! Akane's left nipple is much better looking! Hey, didja know that, in a private interview with Takahashi-sensei, she revealed to me hidden artwork showing Akane's horrible secret: -----> A Third Nipple! <----- And quite a shapely one, at that.. ^_^ >(I'm just joking around here folks) Ditto. :p -- Yoru-Hikage doesn't like the new One-Cal Pepsi ** No Sig for SPAM **
