mislabeling the thread topic somewhat, comes to mind
as far as bringing up old posts how is any newbie going to find out about boat babe unless somebody mentions Her
I haven't even got past post #11 and I'm beginning to think that not much but everything seems to irritate me from time to time.
USING ALL CAPS ! From Justin NSA(sorry sometimes it's that my fat finger can only manage hitting the right letter is all I can do.)

( an analog guy being forced to live in a digital world :-( )
I still used one until a few years back when my garage was broken into.
And don't forget slide rules. We put men on the moon with them. I still have mine
I have one…. I never learned to use it. I saving it though… I figure someday I can market it as a “green” calculatorAnd don't forget slide rules. We put men on the moon with them. I still have mine
Weren't allowed to use calculators on tests in college to prevent the degradation of our "essential" slide rule skills.
scallywags and scoundrels are my preferred company. not much interest in yawls polite preferences. do understand, i was trained for life by very kind and gentle people of great wisdom. however, i choose another path, yep, i became a sailor. it would not work for most of yawl, not saying it was it was a good choice, but it worked for me.
it was a sailors life for me.

Posters who either ignore or do not follow the logical progression of a thread’s discussion and just “butt in.” Of course comic relief is sometimes welcomed (many witty folks in here!), but I note a lot of verbiage for its own sake. Not adding anything.
Best display of a brand new slide rule was behind someones desk Glassed Framed On the Wall.

PS: Actually it was many IBM 360's using Double Precision Floating Point Math. Slide rules aboard Apollo.

Ahah! And all this time I thought you were all just uneducated. In the future no one will be able to write a coherent sentence without electronic assistance. I almost lost my ability to write cursive. My grandchildren cannot even read cursive.If one is replying via phone and using Google dictate, then paragraphs and punctuation is extra work
It’s also extra work to try to read through the gobbledegook so created. If you wish folks to actually read and follow it, then please write it correctly. It’s not always easy to know what that “word” was supposed to be! Coherent writing is tough to begin with. No good writing is presented in the syntax of disjointed speech (um um um), etc.If one is replying via phone and using Google dictate, then paragraphs and punctuation is extra work

Did you mean "no-good writing is presented with dysjointed speech syntax" or did you mean "good writing is never presented with disjointed speech syntax"?
