I’m “knew” here.
I hope!

Hi Quasimodem! How nice to meet another knewcomer. How long have you been lurking before you decided to make your first posts in this thread?
Hi TriPolar. So that’s how its done. You could have warned me before I came crashin’ through the front door like some gun-crazed idiot. Yeah. Thanks mate!
How do you work them Emoticons. Nobody tells me nuffin’…
Well, I was waving my hands around and shaking my head, but you didn’t pay attention and kept on coming. I would have said something, but I don’t speak Australian (well a little, I can say “at dingoo’s gaught yer bye-bee!”)
If you click on Go Advanced, it brings up a new page with a panel of emoticons you can just click on. Simple ones like a colon followed by a right paren will produce the basic smiley. I think people ask questions about stuff like that in ATMB.
Oh, about 11 years (this month, even), TriP, but satire (though it’s my favorite literary genre), eludes me these days, I’m afraid, so I caught on kinda late here!
Thanks

Actually I’ve seen quite a few and the vast majority have gone quite well. As a matter of fact my original one went very well and did pretty much what I expected. People welcomed me, made some remarks, asked some questions and then it pretty much dropped. I see there is also another one in MPSIMS that seems to be doing the same thing. It’s just that this one came so close to mine and, as I said above, it kind of got under my skin, but TriPolar explained and it’s fine now.
Hi, I’m old here. At my age, 137, I’m old everywhere. I never meant to be here. I was resting quietly when a wire got crossed and I started receiving your internet on my telegraph. At first, it opened up a fascinating, new world to me and I tried to follow all of the dots and dashes intently. Then I realized it was mostly inane prattle about a woman called Opal and I quickly grew tired of it. Now I just want to rest but the telegraph keeps buzzing day and night. Hey you kids, get off of my telegraph!
Hiya, I’m cornflakes. Introductions might not be necessary, but I don’t think that I have given one in the twelve years that I’ve been here.
I vote for one–I asked my Anatomy instructor whether we needed to follow a standard dissection or if there were multiple ways to expose the musculature. English wasn’t her first language and I think that she missed the joke, but she said to wait, she’d show us what to do.

Ooh, ooh… Can I play too? :rolleyes:
Uh sure. Your turn.
Be careful..his user number is over 1000..

TriP, I misread the question, sorry! I fell in love here the same day I found the Dope so no lurking for me, IIRC!
