Welcome aboard Chris - yes I think this is the ultimate in website Message Boards and thanks for the compliment that we have worthwhile and mature discussions here. What did Rico say ? “You are going to fit in with us nuts”? Yes Rico is right - we are nuts here - but we are a bunch of suave, urbane, erudite, sophisticated, intelligent nuts. And we was learned to speak English real good too ! ---

There are some real nutters in there! \*\* Indeed, I was called ‘Dinosaur Crap Boy’ in the Pit just today. Imagine my shock! Chris, this is indeed one of the finest places on the web. Be considerate here and (unlike most other boards) you’ll get consideration in return (mostly). Be thoughtful and you’ll be taken seriously. I love this place with all my heart and soul. Now that I have it I don’t know what I’d do without it. Probably turn to drugs or something. ---

I prefer **|no** myself. A fairly subtle distinction, just a couple extra pixels, and I’ve used it several times without him saying anything about it, so nyah. Enjoy, Steven ---
