Do you break the laptop up into little pieces first, or just swallow it whole like a snake with a mouse? I am 100% confident that if/when I leave, nobody will care one iota, or even notice my absence. I did take a break for 6 months or so… changed my password to something I could never remember so I would not be tempted. And guess what? Nobody noticed or cared. ---

I want to pit bobot because my mind, the treacherous thing, keeps wanting to read it as brobot. And who wants bros to move into the bot realm, I mean, they’re terrifying enough as it is. – since we’ve moved past the point of the original pitting into the more fun pitting – ---

I’m not sure what kind of sorcery you’re performing here, but you may want to log out and log back in again, y’know … like a grown-up. [ETA: after three attempts to fix the quoting, I now feel like the guy who doesn’t get a laugh after telling the lengthy joke, and then says, quizzically, “Did I tell you the guy had a parrot on his shoulder ?”] Sigh.

Well, I guess I have a new entry in my “There are two types of people in the world…” list - those who capitalize their SDMB handle, and those who don’t. As for pitting @bobot, I have to admit I was mildly interested in finding out what was said, and I think this is his first pitting (no?), but I got here and there is nothing juicy at all. Shame. ---
