I’m not going to renew my paid subscription to the SDMB because of the rdiculously long wait between each search.
Peace,
mangeorge
They’d rather you look at ads, anyway.
People who make pronouncements about leaving rarely stay gone for long.
So you think he’s going to change his mind and pay for a membership again?
He didn’t day he was leaving; only that he was no longer going to pay. He can still post indefinitely as a guest.
I’m sorry that you feel that way, mangeorge, but my understanding is that extending the period between searches will almost certainly overtax the already stressed server. You’re certainly a valued poster, and I’m correct that you’ve said you’re not renewing your paid membership – you’ve NOT said that you’re leaving?
I’ll probably hang around until I start feeling guilty.
That will put us below a full passel of Charter Members for the first time ever.
If you want to make a statement, go whole-hog and get Ad-Block Plus.
I want to not have to read a novel while waiting to re-do a search because I mis-spelled “dogfude”.
What means this word “guilty”?
Extending would be a problem? Now everything makes 100% sense…
I stopped using the board search engine a while back, it just wasn’t worth the anger and frustration. I’ll use Google occasionally but on the whole I’ve just learned to forgo searches and to live with the fact that this board, to all intents and purposes, doesn’t have a functioning search engine.
“I have too much money.”
Hmph. Google Shmoogle.
I find it easier to just memorize each thread’s content and ID and drop it into a URL as necessary.
I had time to do this while waiting for the search function.
Now I’m confused. Who has too much money? What’s that got to do with Skald the Rhymer’s post, which you quoted.
I just checked the Oxford English Dictionary, the American Heritage Dictionary, and the ghost of JRR Tolkien, and all agree that you canonot use those five words in a sentence in that order, with no other owords, and have it make sense.
This is obviously one of those days. When I say “extending” today, at least in this thread, I mean “reducing.”
mangeorge is pulling our collective leg, methinks!
Anyway, as C K wrote you’re a valued member of our online community, and anyway, once a Doper ALWAYS a Doper!
Semper Fi!
Q
Are you threatening me?
…but seriously… I took the exchange this way.
mangeorge: I’ll probably hang around until I start feeling guilty (for participating without paying).
StR: What mean you by this word “guilty”?
SxS: By simple substitution, the word guilty could be taken somewhat humorously to mean that mangeorge has a superfluidity of assets for which he is in need of a cash sink.
