Newbie Question:

Speak for yourself Hillary, I've still got my training wheels on.

From another newbie... where do one's points appear? Maybe I'll get some one day and I'd like to know how to recognize them.

You're not the first to ask this question... there's a thread here (which includes some of the same silliness as this one) that will answer all your questions.

Thank you kindly

Welcome Grump! Nice to meet you.

Grump and Jim, hi, welcome to the boards. There are hoards of nice people on these forums, very useful and friendly and kind. Some of them are in this very thread, being things which are not that.

That's why I'm here, wearing a Moderator hat and being grumpy and pointing out that this is where we collectively put our best foot forward, isn't it?

If PeeDee's post above doesn't make sense then you weren't here for the brouhaha and be grateful.

I've split and moved the, um, let's just say "off topic" posts to a moderated thread in TIO.

There will be no more sniping on this thread, period.

Welcome to AW Grump and Jim - I'm so very sorry this happened and it's not representative of the board as a whole. Hope you give us a chance to prove it.

Welcome, The Grump and Jim. We're glad to have you with us. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Don't say that! Now we have to have answers ready. Which means we have to learn stuff. Which means work! What's wrong with you? Gawdd...

Don't listen to them, Jim and Grump, mods are just scaredy-cats. You can ask anything you want, and we hyper-intelligent non-mods will help you any time

You worry too much, PeeDee. Didn't you see how quickly MM stepped up to the plate?

we have brainwash--er...trained them well, these peeps....

I thought I felt a disturbance in the force. Sure enough Voyager's handing out lap dances at my expense. Just so you know, I charge double that.

Call me crazy, but I swore I had a million friendly posts in this thread today.....


Maybe it was the brownie.


Does this mean I have to RE-welcome Grump to the thread?

Welcome, Grump!

Here are some answers to some questions (please note: not all answers apply.)

Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
Patrick McGoohan was in The Prisoner.

It's on a Saturday this year.

Welcome to the board, Grump.

Don't let these knuckleheads scare you. They're harmless, except the chihuahuas.

Everyone come and have a cup of my soup.

Stay away from the chihuahua. He's mine.


Oh, and

Welcome, Grump and Jim! We're mostly a decent bunch

Now, why would I want a cup of soap, Maestro?

Welcome, Grump. You too, Jim. On behalf of the AW Chihuahua's, I welcome you to the cooler.

See? Isn't he handsome?

He's mine. MInemineminemine.

Just remember that and we'll get along fine.

My daughter's a soccer mom, except she does both momming and soccering. We parents mind her son while she's a teacher during the day and a varsity soccer coach at night.

See, Grump? Jim? I'm freakin' reasonably normal.

Dad?
