Why did you feel the need to use the plural form of the noun when the plural is adequately indicated by the fact that you have used the number three to modify it? Do you think we need it to understand that it was used more than one time?




Well... decided to go with standard correct diction rather than another dialect like Pidgin. No sale. Maybe this will sound better: "Me no likee you argument. You try findee dictionary chop chop!"

Redundancy is just babbling in this case. If there is a point, I do not see it; just sounds like more of trying to justify wrong things with other wrong things, even fake ones. Starting to look like a recurring theme.

Hey, Aramis, you made me laugh with your pidgeon English.

Now, may I ask you why you think it is right and proper for you to use another member's avatar? Or perhaps you don't, but that don't stop you. Myself, I think you should scour the web, or your own camera, and come up with one of your own. But that's just me.

I agree. Aramis, you're too mature for that kind of thing.

Problem is that once you upload your avatar it becomes part of the stock avatar pool with no indication of any sort that it is considered proprietary by the uploader or even, as is mine, copyrighted by the uploader. As far as I know there is no way for any of us with proprietary or copyrighted avatars to so indicate or to place them in an otherwise unavailable pool or to remove them from the stock pool once put there.

Why make excuses for him, Faldo? He deliberately linked to my avatar knowing perfectly well what he was doing. Unless he's really dumb as well as being a thief.

Well, no. He went to the avatar pool and selected one. Whether or not he knew that it was in use I couldn't say. Now, however, he knows and should quit using it, I agree. And it looks like he has, so give him a break.

Ooooh, so the new avatars that we bring in here could be picked by anyone else? I didn't know that they became available to everyone.

The one I have is not mine, of course, but I use it because it looks like me. So I'd feel strange if someone else used it, though I suppose if they did there wouldn't be much I could do about it. Just like I picked it up off the Web, I couldn't (and wouldn't) prevent other people from doing the same.
