You Get The Last Word!

[Eywadude]

House of the small variety is one I'd like to have once I purge a ton of stuff and begin to live a more simple, bare-bones life.

 

[Christian B]

Life without tons of stuff I'd like, as long as I can have my record collection.

 

[rBuckner]

Collection of dust around here is growing all the time!

 

[harman/kardon]

Time to dust the dust covers!

'Covers' is a Cricket 'fielding' location / position; the description of which would blow a few minds, round here.

Cheers, og

 

[Te-Te]

Here is one place where minds expand.

 

[oldgringo]

DNU..

Covers keep items contained, as does the period in the sentence.

Here we have an example of what would have been a 'double-post', if the second post had been made three minutes or less, after the first.

Cheers, og

'There' we have a case where expanded minds jumped over the 'witnessed-post-copy' principle...

Here we go again!

Again I leave a tangled mess, it is now time to be a viewer.rather than a player.

'Viewer', do not be [watch your periods, an' all ] - participant, you are making a good un' - your [soft] bruises will teach you well!

[harman/kardon]

Well, I fu*ked up many times in this game in the last years but I always refused to surrender, Te-Te, please carry on learning by doing!

 

[Fran604g]

Doing the same, we all have screwed up, but we persevere.

Dnu (Do Not Use)

Te-Te, don't leave. Just remember a few simple rules from page one of this thread. A period always ends a sentence. If you think you've made an error, hang in there, and don't delete/edit your post, so that it can be seen. The responses should be made clearly by us veterans of the game so that we may be of assistance to you.

If there are two or more simultaneous posts within a 3 minute time period after the post being responded to, the last posters final word is to be used. We like the double and triple posts!

No ellipsis (...) shall be used, as the first "dot" constitutes a period, thus ending the sentence.

These are a simplified version of the rules, but the most commonly sited infractions.

Don't end a sentence with an abbreviation, or numeral; numbers must be spelled out.

You can use a ?, or ! if you bracket them thus: (?) - [!] and continue your sentence.

To comment off topic, just be sure to place "Do Not Use" (Dnu) and "End of Do Not Use" (End Dnu) at the beginning and end of your post.

Best of luck, and stick around!

End Do Not Use

 

[Te-Te]

Persevere I shall, let members know they are so kind.

 

[mr.jones]

Kind of you to drop by.

 

[Fran604g]

Kind of a "classroom" we have here should always be respectful, as an homage to our VERY kind founder (and "Teacher"), Rome - also known as Don; I'm sure he's proud of us all carrying on as we do daily.

 

[oldgringo]

DNU...

Evidence of our rules, found in post number one, usually [but not always] manages to keep us on track - but when we 'come-off-track', we call that a ['surprise- surprise'] 'derailment'.

Cheers, og

DNU...

DNU = Do Not Use.

Daily, things need to be made clearer; though when messages have been delivered to the same recipient on a prior occasion, generalisations may suffice - overall, 'kindness and understanding' should prevail.

Prevail will the era, according to George Duke.

 

[oldgringo]

Duke it out wid de devil!

Cheers, og

 

[harman/kardon]

Devil had an argument with Frank who told him that he is only interested in titties and beer, which made the devil very angry.

 

[oldgringo]

Angry with me, some people get; but 'titties & beer' always takes my mind of that [not 'it' ].

Cheers, og

DNU...

For newbs: 'it' is the last word.
