Yes, I agree with "lurker" sounding somewhat negative; kinda brings to mind some guy lurk- ing at schools, offering candy to a child! Re: signing in, often times when I want to post,I am asked if I want to sign in, and I always do. Why not?
Trump is the last person to be making fun of someones hair. You are right, he should concentrate on policy. This does go to the heart of why many people don't trust the Clintons. Why deny its a wig? Own it and have fun with it. She missed an opportunity.
yes. there is a difference between "lurker" (which I do not see as a bad thing) and a troll. Lurker sounds a little negative-I think that's just to encourage people to sign in and participate.
khalling, I've been in the Gulch a few years now, commented on occasion and was lucky enough to be chosen for my 5 seconds of fame in AS3. But I've never seen such a innocuous post as yours bring on such a flood of humorous sarcasm. Just goes to show everyone that Gulchers (is that a word?) have more than superior intellect, but a sense of humor as well. Thanks everyone, for making me smile in a week that has had very little humor in it!
I don't know about "lurkers" but it's ' points - schmoints." You want to add the sch sound because the phraseology is taken from the commonly used German/Yiddish dialect. Otherwise you give yourself away as being overly gentile. (Tongue-in-cheeck.)
Points - "smoints" - I'm still confused re: 'lurkers' - sometimes a 'lurker' appears over and over again, so I assume it's not a case of "once a lurker always a lurker" eh? Confused!
Points? The Gulch is very similar to a TV show called "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" where everything is made up and the points don't matter. In a way they are an ego boost but if you need your ego boosted, you may be in the wrong place. The interesting thing about the points is seeing how many people of like mind agree with you. Any more than one would be a top mark in any other blog.
Thanks Rich ! I'll give it a try. As all the rest of the world is ( literally) disintegrating into chaos, its rejuvenating to come here and find people who still think. :) Thnx
as did I, so that you can get that mini-pizza oven which you have had your heart set on ... from the high-points catalog sent out in August. . not the holiday catalog. -- j .
