Spock, I got to say, you are the best mod I've ever known.

I hope you mean 'moderator' and not 'model' mod. I'd be most upset if Spock were only the product of someone's imagination .

LOL. Of course I meant moderator!

[Yiv]

Yay! Spock's real.!!

[Spock]

Mr. Spock,
Thank you for your gracious reply. ...(I never thought that I'd be saying that to 'anyone'), thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Live Long and Prosper!

No problem, I'm just glad I was able to help. Thank you btw for supplying a possible solution for others experiencing a similar problem.

Peace and Long Life.

Yay! Spock's real.!!

Hmm, I have this bridge you might like to buy. It's now located in Arizona ...

Also, for your reading pleasure, I (the person behind the Username) am real with all that implies but the persona is for personal reasons, not to be mistaken with reality.

Naaah. It's an English bridge... you can keep it.

Plus, don't worry, I know it's just a persona. The real Spock won't be born for another two hundred years or so...

Also, I think you probably have a lot more patience with us all, than the real Spock would for which I say thankyou.

... do you think I managed to crawl out of that one? I might go a-lurking for a while**)

No need to crawl out of anything or lurk, we're all friends here and understand that a little gentle ribbing is OK. My problem is that, to keep in persona, I must respond to exactly what is said, not to what is meant. To make it worse, I must do it in a deadpan manner ...

The other day my wife asked me to put the kettle on (for a cup of tea). I told her I didn't think it would fit ...

...a little gentle ribbing is OK...

Please tell me if I get carried away sometimes, I would hate to think I were causing offence or hurting anyone's feelings. A sense of humour and being able to laugh at life's ironies is all that's kept me going sometimes. But I'm well aware that what I think is funny and what someone else does, aren't always the same... especially when writing!
Unfortunately, I have a mischievous, immature streak which sometimes gets the better of me...

...to keep in persona...

I'm pleased to report that your persona sometimes slips and the real you peeks through! This is a good thing and what makes both yourself and Faded Glory, not only great moderators but a joy to have as moderators (despite the way it sounds, that's not crawling but truth as I see it).

...The other day my wife asked me to put the kettle on (for a cup of tea). I told her I didn't think it would fit ...

I bet you got the same reaction that I did when my one of my step-kids asked what was on the telly. I said some photos and an ornament ...

Anyhow, as this has gone completely off topic and I don't want to get a warning for that ...

Bye for now!

(ps. Did you notice I found some cool smilies... )

[Spock]

I have a few still available on my website:

PCTalk Smilies

[Faded Glory]

Now I wonder where you could have found those cool smileys?

[Traxex]

OK, let's annoy to Spock!

I guess since Spock may manage the PCTalk mod page, he could access those smileys...

Hhmm.. I'm seriously thinking that Spock is God, LOL.

[Spock]

... Spock may manage the PCTalk mod page ...

Since it's my website, I do believe I have access to them.

... seriously thinking that Spock is God

I sincerely hope not, too much responsibility. The occasional forum and/or website is more than enough for me.

Nice one! Thanks Spock ... found this one on your site, I reckon we should make him the forum mascot, LOL!

Now I wonder where you could have found those cool smileys? ...

Unfortunately not. I was going to ask you about that. When I tried to register it didn't like me... it would appear my email address is from the 'wrong side of the tracks' (I feel unfairly discriminated against, *sniff*).

OK, let's annoy to Spock! ...

I don't think that's quite what Spock had in mind when he split this thread off from the original, LOL.

Hhmm.. I'm seriously thinking that Spock is God, LOL.

... Ahhh, but which God

...I sincerely hope not, too much responsibility...

Amen, to that :-)

[Spock]

... When I tried to register it didn't like me ...

If you're talking about my forum, I have some rather stringent registration hoops a prospective member must jump through. There is a special code number without which I will never even know you tried to join and there are a couple of innocuous questions which, if answered wrong, will get your entry banned.

The "best" part though is "Purgatory". Every newly registered user is placed there where no one else can see their posts and they cannot see any of the rest of the forum, even less that the public can see. There are instructions listed in there which, if you are not a Spammer, will gain you access to the rest of the forum, almost half of which is hidden to the public.

Why such a hard time to gain entry? I used my forum to teach and walked my students through the entry process in class, so they had no trouble getting in. Spammers on the other hand, never make it past Purgatory ... if they even get that far.

[Traxex]

"Purgatory"

"my students"

You are God! LOL.

[Yiv]

@ Spock : No, I was talking about the smiley site from Faded Glory's sig. They don't accept email addresses from certain providers, one of which is mine, so I'll need to see about sorting out another email account before I can register with them...

Your forum sounds very Mission Impossible to get onto, I'll need to check it out properly. Maybe I can ninja my way in.

Edit: @Arach : Ha!ha!ha!ha! Still laughing at that

Nothing to it Yiv just make yourself a gmail acct and you can slide right on in.

Spock ain't a god, he's just part Elf! That's why he has pointy ears.

[Traxex]

He's a space elf!

[Yiv]

Technically, he's half Vulcan.
Vulcan is the Roman God of Fire and Volcanoes.
He's a half god!

Hmmm.... Half God, Half Elf...??

He's a GOLF, plus he used to teach, possibly 'Golf Courses' ?

(yeahhh... ok that was really lame, lol)


@F Glory : Ta much, I'll try that and hopefully be able to register this time (unless you've already warned them about me )

[Faded Glory]

Nope Yiv, I have left you as a total surprise!
