I had the same problem once…drove me crazy until I realized that I had my computer set up to not accept any cookies. So when I would submit a post after logging in, the board would not know that I had logged in when it tried to post.
Or some such thing. All I know is that I reset my acceptance of cookies, and voila! no further problems.
“Just as a pointless digression, why do some posters seem to think that putting a “k” in “America” is a clever device to gain rhetorical points?”
I thought it was to gain sympathy, you know like the backwards “N” on a child’s lemonade sign.
Either that or the mini-series really reached them.
Gobear:
Good riposte, but (again, slightly paraphrased)
To begin, let me say,
At the risk of repetition,
There’s a troll in this thread,
And he didn’t ask permission,
But he sit there all day
In contemptuous array
With a message to convey
And he hasn’t gone away
And there’s every indication
They he still plans to stay,
And you look a little gray, my friend …
Have some tea, my friend,
Some chrysanthemum tea,
While we plan, if we can,
What our answer ought to be.
If the tea that Gobear drank will
Serve to keep ol’ Gobear tranquil,
I suggest, if I may, my friend,
We consult the Confucians —
They have mystical solutions.
There are none wise as they, my friend …
Over at ATMB Arnold “Noodles” Winkleried has this to say about the log out problem.
If you log in at the log in page after you post, then hit back then hit post from the quick reply box the last poster may sometimes show as Unregistered on the forum page but not on the actual post. Until this happened to me, I thought there was an actual poster named Unregistered.
Does that make any sense at all?
You include a poem in a post saying you’re not interested? You are interested, otherwise you wouldn’t have bothered posting at all. I have no need to set up some pseudointellectual facade behind which I crouch and hurl ad hominems at others. Intellectualism is irrelevent. It’s what people do that count, not what they say or how they say it. Besides, you still didn’t address your inner sheepishness, did you?
Ffs, if you’re going to post to a flame board at least realize that the entire reason you’re posting is for attention. I know that’s the only reason I’m posting.
The “K” in America comes from writing in German for the last year or so… sometimes I interchange C and K. The large capital letters and exclamation points serve to mock your smug intellectual, patriotic, compartmentalized, single serving and safety sealed American fervor. Duh.
I like beaver.
I like beaver.
What the hell?
Fenris, nicely done, paraphrasing “Chrysanthemum Tea” fromPacific Overtures–you should have seen the Japanese company that performed it here in September at Lincoln Center.
To answer, in regard to trashing Cull as artistically as possible
Bit by bit,
Putting it together…
Piece by Piece-
Only way to make a work of art.
Every moment makes a contribution,
Every little detail plays a part.
Having just a vision’s no solution,
Everything depends on execution:
Putting it together-
That’s what counts!
Ack!, That’s Kennedy Center! I plead brain fart.
“The large capital letters and exclamation points serve to mock your smug intellectual, patriotic, compartmentalized, single serving and safety sealed American fervor. Duh.”
Hey you watched Fight Club too! Good movie.
Cull, you are worthy of a bumper sticker.
You are likening him to a sheep, suggesting that he is a blind follower. You mean to say that he is “sheeplike”, or simply “a sheep.”
Your choice, “sheepishness,” means manifest timidity or docility. I am not pointing out the difference to be a grammar, umm, wolf, but rather because “inner sheepishness” is, IMO, a rather interesting paradox.
People who intentionally misinterpret use of poetic licence make baby Jesus cry.
Your poetic license should be suspended.
Above a pit of rabid alligators.
Oh, puh-LEEZE, sugar, if you have such diff=iculty in seoparating German from English, then I suggest you study harder. Moreover, mein herr, die “k” im America schrieben auf Deustch
Very witty, particlewill. Hee hee hee…
It’s great how desperate people will claw at a tiny imperfection to see how deep they can scratch. Your life is so horribly uneventful that you feel a need to comment on something this banal? Tell me, do you masturbate while you do this as well? I know I do…

I know I recently reprimanded someone for using a dictionary definition, but here it goes anyway…
cull Pronunciation Key (kl)

To pick out from others; select.
To gather; collect.
To remove rejected members or parts from (a herd, for example).
n.
Something picked out from others, especially something rejected because of inferior quality.
The last one sounds right.
