Hey Z

There was no attack on Nostatus...he understands all too well what I'm talking about...now there were a couple of digs about intelligence in there....but on the balance I was telling him he was pretty smart except for myself that is...

U see Nostatus is very very smart....but for all his intellectual prettensions for me he is very easy...I can see his intellectual abstractions just as plain as day

U might say he's like a cat who is wary of the big lumbering dog who sniffs around the yard...making sure that the pooch doesn't catch his scent.... BTW just call me wolfie

That's what I saw too. Sure, tabs drew some personal insults from others. . .But then, I thought Mul was in the same boat.

So I suppose the moral is, don't say anything that will bring a childish reaction from others. (this is going to be tough)

Tabs, you sound funny when you whine; and downright hilarious when you you become "contrite."

Thanks for brightening up my Tuesday.

tabs:
Only reason I closed that thread was because others didn't understand your point of view. I've got no problems with you and for the most part know where you're coming from.

For the most part, I understand what you're about. (Now THAT's a scary thought!) But the problem is that when others see what your doing, and don't know that it's in jest and that Nostatic understands that, they then believe it is ok to write personal attacks and such.

Does that make sense?
-Z.

PS: How about some updates on what you've been making in your smoker?!?

man, I do some actual work during the day and *this* happens.

Well Ignatius, I think we understand each other all too well. That's why it is entertaining and boring at the same time.

"that's why I'm easy....easy like Sunday morning..."

Because he's transparent or because he's a supercooled liquid?

Glass is not a solid. Not crystalline. It is a liquid! If you look at the windows in old cathedrals, the glass is noticeably thicker at the bottoms!

Yeah, technically thats called an amorphous substance. . . as it has no descrete phase (neither solid or liquid) . . . and the distortion behavior being strain-rate dependent. (fast strain=break, . . .slow strain=flow)

So are you saying that tabs is a shape-shifter?

"Ignatius" Ha ha ha... I'm assuming we're talking about Mr. I. P. Riley here.

A dead ringer, for sure.
