Over @ the Polly board...something interesting.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Decided to visit the Pollyboard a bit ago....You know-the 'slap-ourselves-on-the-back cause one day has passed and nothing is released to the news yet' board. Seems like there is No topic there but them trying to convince each other they aren't dung beetles...so far 99% of their conversations are about this board. No-life low life's...nothing to do but come here and be stupid or go there and be stupid....and one will prove my point as soon as I post this...but here is a list of their topics/threads....

Dude, learn to format correctly. TIA

Dude...~L~- yeah...it looked better before I posted it...sorry!

-- Satanta (FormattingFailure@here.com), January 03, 2000.

It's good info, but for most folks it's pretty much impossible to read. (Sort of like when people arbitrarily/lazily omit punctuation and/or capitalization from their e-mail messages or forum postings.)

-- Dude (dude@dude.com), January 03, 2000.

Just looked. Nothing there from cpr (A WORLD-CLASS AIRLINE PASSENGER!), either. Odd. I would have thought he'd be there, basking in the adulation.

You don't need to go there. All of 'em are over here.

heh. You do see the irony in your post....right?

right?

Hey how much do you charge per pound and do you have a collection/drop-off service? thanks.

-- Andy (2000EOD@prodigy.net), January 03, 2000.

Amy:

cpr flew cross-country and won't be posting until he returns to dallas, that is why there are no posts from 'the world class airline passanger'.

He also strikes me as a man far too intelligent to say much until after the first day of real testing (monday morning work).

Here's the URL; who knows, you might even learn something: http://stand77.com/wwwbo ard/board.html
