I am one of those that went invisible for a couple of reasons... the most important of which is that I found that the difference saves me time by eliminating PM's from those that would turn this board into a chat room (given the chance), and I already spend too much time here (not that there is anything wrong with that  ). ALthough I'm nOt the One B96 was taLking abOut (I dOn't use ICQ) her and I have run intO each Other in OnLine a cOupLe Of times (back when One cOuLd see me)tsuwm beware  ). I look at online when I arrive to see what's up, and when I leave to see if I should stay (ie. what's still up). It seems the "chatty" crowd seems to have gone silent, so in the interest of *fairness  , I will restart the infra red glasses and take off my lead cape.

Or, you could go to your profile and click "no" to the question as to whether or not you'll accept PMs and still be in "Who's Online."

-I have started and abandoned many stupid posts (but not all, obviously!).I will not believe this! Whatever reasons you may have had for abandoning a post, I annot accept that the post would have been stupid. have abandoned a great many posts, after realisng that their paucity of content would see them add nothing but clutter to a thread, much as this one has done.

Unfortunately, with me, things seem to have gone a bit nicker twisted, such that I abandon all my clever, witty, constuctive, insightful posts (na, na, honest govna'  ) and the remainder slip through,....often unf

ALthough I'm nOt the One B96 was taLking abOut (I dOn't use ICQ)Kev, yOu're a nut =) it took me a minute to figure out what ICQ had to do with any of this, but in rereading my post i saw that i'd used the acronym "IIRC", which is quite similar to IRC. what i was trying to say was "if i recall correctly". i'm also prone toward AAMOF (as a matter of fact), OTOH (on the other hand), FWIW (for what it's worth), BTW (by the way), LOL (laughing out loud) hi K, and IRL (in real life) hi C. most of the online briefspeak is quite irritating to me (stuff like CUL8R and NE1), but when in a rush there are a few that come in handy. if anyone cares to check out a more complete list of common chat abbreviations, there's a fairly comprehensive one at http://www.nef.wh.uni-dortmund.de/~pabude/abkuerz.htmoh, and then there's MM

Very interesting, B96. But for me it's easier to write it out (WIO ?) rather than try to memorize all those* !!!
