(Posting this to all, Capt.)MadJack, I agree with Capt. Tripp on this one. By the time I checked the Bio, the name had been corrected, But I'm Betting he's dead right. Think about it. Impersonate someone else, write an inflamatory post in their name, and derive pleasure from a group of your peers flaming her down, (And look at the postings, would'nt you say it worked?)at no further effort from you, of course. NOW, having said that, lets discard the grade ten trash talk Idea, (Run with me on this one.) This posting on this particular board is too blatent.We are NOT idiots here, and would eventually see the ridiculousness of the post. This board BELONGs to people of the mind, means, and intelligence to make life 'interesting' for anyone who lives in a computer world. That being said, doesn't this strike you as the cat pissin' on the bed in the dog kennel? So logically, (like I said, run with me on this one) we assume someone is trying to nail 'Cooper' We look to the -obvious- drop, 'Morrison'. I would say he was the target here, not her. And I'm betting neither one of them knows anything about this prior to the post going up.
So, the final point in all this rant? Leave it alone. Theres only one thing this post says clearly, and thats 'I'm pissed off, and want someone else to do my dirty work.' Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I really don't think so.

Hey now! Can you email me the link to that a Yahoo! Launchcast radio station? Peace! Jenzkind@insightbb.com -Jenzkind
I do agree with you re: LGF's EUPOTD. (Besides, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?) Can't win for losin', as my mother often said...thanks for offering an interesting perspective. :) -snowcrash
Melted butter ... hahahaha - I love it -teivrann
<grin> I know how many L-Points there are, it was a sly way of seeing whom else on the board plays I-War :) -fearmyroot
Capt. Trips: Indeed, and I did say mead. I make my own here, and so far it has come out truly lovely. Down to only a dozen bottles of the last strong batch, but there are 10 gallons that have just fallen clear and are waiting for the siphon... Fair warning, I brew mine strong -- running about 14% last I measured. -chazz
Hey - With a 'nick' like that I hope you're a Deadhead , always nice to find another one about. I'll have to hit you for some bootlegs at some point. Cheers -Westgate
Capt. Trips: There are many new chemical formulations for electrolytic capacitors out there. You can actually get 1F caps that are no more than an inch tall by a half-inch diameter... but the chemical formulation is "laggy", so they are more like rechargeable batteries than capacitors. Oh -- don't buy Chinese caps. -chazz
POMO theory = Post Modern Theory. Lots of authors like Heideger, Habermas, Marx, Foucault, etc. Interesting stuff. -mrfantastic
tin-plated, overbearing dictators with delusions of godhood, but they are not soft - Star Trek, "The Trouble with Tribbles"...episode 42... so what do I do with these brownie points? -csatguru
a hug to you, your story about your mom touched me. You are so right been 18 years since I lost my mom and it still hurts real bad. I found out she had terminal cancer 32 days before her death -THETECHFROMHELL
"Mr. Schlock?" "No Mustard, Captain." "Analysis, Mr. Schlock?" "It would appear that Lt. Snott is about to eat a weiner with no mustard, Captain." *warning! This is a plot complication! Warning! This is a plot complication!* -da5ve
Love to have you and Mrs. Captain Trips at the BBQ! You can let me know directly by e-mail, sassicatz1@yahoo.com. Hope we'll see you there. -sassicatz
Naw I asked (litterally) for those marks. The one on my inner thigh was kinda a way to show I was owned for a while. ^-^ No worries. -Gwynnthiere

Feel free to e-mail me if you need any more info.
We’re looking forward to meeting you.

-sassicatz
Sorry to hear about the neighbor kid and his dogs. Any chance Animal Control would take pre-emptive action? At the very least, you might want to give either them a call and explain your concerns (kid and his dog were a freakin' menace last time and dog had to be put down) and ask them what your options are if he repeats. Just my $0.02. -virtualchoirboy
Re someone wanting your QBasic final project: back in college (Ah, halcyon days!) an acquaintance who didn't want to do a programming project asked me, "...because you're in computers, it'll be *easy* for you." Couldn't get her to shut up, so I did it...like a senior CS major, NOT like a student in her ONE AND ONLY computer class. Worked perfectly, was coded and commented like *I'd* like to receive. She never could understand *why* she got an 'F' on it....<BFEG> -CTYankee
Looky at the Captain! A Star, a wonderful shiny Star! -Tekkie
Nice star. Congrats and welcome. -Rabbitt
Did anyone ever tell you that star makes your butt look big? It's still looks good on you. -virtualchoirboy
Does this mean you've been promoted from Captain to 'One-star'? <g> -Gromit
I could send you pics if you doubt me. *grin* -burrkiss
*copy of my comment on Armakuni's story* - I would have thought that any group that's been around as long as druids are supposed to have been would have encountered the concept of a 'joke' by now. Anyway, as I understand it, today's druids bear little relation to their ancient forebears, as there is little or no record of exactly what ancient druids practised and believed -Shaede
I was going 65mph in the slow lane and barely caught the details on the van. Could not make out the number though. But the sticker is all too familiar. -BayAreaTech

"Good movie. Wonder how they got the ring off of Ringo's finger." The same way they got the ring off Frodo's finger? -concept14
How about the Scotch lovers? Patrick FitzHugh & Hugh FitzPatrick..... -Ulfgaard
"Cracker" is the Term used by some for describing a white person its a play off "nigger" -neuman1812
"Here, Frito, have some more mushrooms." It's been a long time -- was that said by Tim Benzedrine? -concept14
Spider Robinson is an awesome writer! Ever play the video game version of "Callahan's Crosstime Saloon"? That's what got me into his books. -Zentar
I e-mailed you from my work address, apettis at unitrin dot com, about the tickets for the Faire so please don't wipe me out as spam. That's the only e-mail I really keep close tabs on. -sassicatz
Captain...aging hippies never die, they just go on another trip...:) Sorry if this is a stupid joke. -halfstarfish
LOL on the comment in the tech story by SFWrangler...if we get the other SG1 fans on the site in on this, we may need a thread in the break room...:D -halfstarfish
Hey-
The person that made you a "star" gave you the tshirt option and we are finally getting the shirts out. What is your address and what size do you want? Thanks, Hawk's wife -Hawkswifey
Yes I'd be interested, but at this time I do not have a car, and live in Mira Mesa. I have a bike and take the bus. I'll let you know how the interview goes. Thanx -billybien
Can I take you up on that job opportunity, if BillyB doesn't? -MadJack
Ok, so I'm dating myself... it was a model B20 9404 AS/400... just the right size for holding up one end of a desk! -Ulfgaard
Hey Captain! To answer your question about looking for AS/400 work... I'm in Omaha Nebraska. -EagleEye
Ah, another fan of The Arm - excellent! -Grue
"Well, we build it now and level it later." -- Yep, sounds like something they'd do at an REC Faire. Other REC-isms include "Lay water lines now and hope for a permit later" and "What do you mean we have to pull ourselves to pieces, clean every last speck of ourselves off your land and re-build everything less than two months before the Faire opens?" -gotpasswords
Just a follow up on the jousting. I know the jousting you are talking about, but this one is not a staged performance. It's an actual compitition. With blood, broken bones, etc. Had to take one guy off the field in a stretcher last year. IIRC two people broke their arms that year too. If it's a "show", then it's a good one. -TechOgre
Hey, I just saw your comment on MamaTech's story, where you said: "Jesus is BORG, you WILL be assimilated." It reminded me of a church one of my friends goes to. I was on its webpage one day, and was looking at a staff listing, and noticed they had a "Director of Assimilation". http://www.bethanychurch.com/profile_staff.cfm I made a comment to him about it, and it looks like he mentioned something, cause they've changed the title, to Assimilation/HR Coordinator. But I still think it's kinda funny. And it fits in with your bumper sticker. -JH
Hey! The capt'ns got a big butt! <wham><damn, it's just not my day> -Rabbitt
I see you got your star back. Congrats! -sassicatz
Page 32 is blank in my copy (Owlswick Press hardcover). -concept14
Thanks Cap'n. It keeps me sane, ya know? -GratefulTech
Hi!
We are finally getting the star member shirts out and since you were gifted a membership and shirt, I need to know what size you would like and also where I can ship it to! Thanks! -Hawkswifey
Re Back O(ri)ffice - wow, it's good to hear from someone else who thinks it sucks! We've had this crap foisted on us by our idiot IT director who knows dick, and this lousy "support" company he's in bed with who know even less. We're supporting it by trial and error because we were given no training or documentation before it was rolled out. When we ask the third-party nitwits for info they stonewall so they can bill us to dick around and never fix the problems. Our stores have been running BO all day in the background on their master till, because we and they didn't know any better. Also the uber-stupid starfish at our stores have no clue how to double-click on the icon on their desktops if it gets closed, so they just leave it on all the time. (ps. sorry for the long winded post!) - TC -TechnoCat
Trips, I *AM* saving my ire for somebody who deserves it. For some of us what we do for a living is more than just a job, its a vocation. Something we have a genuine passion and enthusiasm for. This isn't a job I fell into, its something I elected to do, and something I take a pride in doing to the best of my ability. To have that derided and belittled by some wet behind the ears farkin student casually dismissing the platform I've chosen to specialize in as a toy or a doorstop is to be told to my face that I'm somehow less of a tech than the ill informed sectarian, narrow minded parochial fuck spouting that shit, joke or no joke, and its something I won't wear. That kind of crap I expect from starfish but I hold techs to a higher standard. No offense bud, I'm not having a go at you here, I'm just explaining why this is important to me. Taken on their own each jibe is no more than a drop of rain, but the continual drip, drip fucking drip starts to feel like chinese water torture after a while and I just wish they'd fucking turn that childish shit in. -Digital Dogcow
No rush, Captain. *spank!* -PikaPikaChick
You asked about blue tooth makeup -- consider a blue toothpaste (you may have to darken it with food coloring). It sticks OK, washes off easily, is easily replaced in moments, and gives you fresh breath all day long! -ManyHats
um, is "The Making Of Star Trek" the answer to your comment on http://www.techcomedy.com/single/single.php?content_number=65757 -EtherRabbit
not hard enough to leave marks. just hard enough to break me from the stupor the medication causes. and besides, I'm used to things of that nature. -AdmiralLaurie
Captain, are you serious about not having a descent computer at home? Please white board me or e-mail me at gunpe-at-earthlink-dot-net. I have several desktops and notebooks you could have that are way better than what you posted. I believe in paying it forward, when I was in a tight spot, another admin sent me 2 desktops to get me online. I would like to do the same. -Gunpe
The lart shelter has no Zip+4 because the delivery point is a throwback. )Hpw's that for obscure postal geekery?) -concept14
I'm about 1,000 miles east of your Ren Fest, at a Mideval Fair in Norman, OK. So... yeah, you wouldn't have seen me. -linkv
We only wish it were sleep apnea in Sleepiing Ugly's case, but even so, he likely wouldn't do much about it, if at all. We've known for some time he has diabetes, and he flagrantly neglects to manage it. In fact, he's known to go grab root beer and ice cream on a daily basis & wolf it down with the speed of a starving man, after he's already eaten a good sized lunch. -elcapitane
Thankyou Kindly for the gift, may all your Starfish come come deep fried, and your code free of seg-faults. -ZombieBear
Cap, sorry about the belated response, I've been mostly away from my PC for the last few days. I used to be into faire, yeah, not so much now. Got the clothes and swords, not so much the money or desire for more, heh. -NightSteel
07-09-10 Love the Yoda GPS bit! Too funny. :) -Tekkie
I feel your pain. I have lost a 5 year old son to an accident. I wish you the best. -srteach
If you're near Tampa, and need ANYTHING, please let me know. I am very sorry for your loss. -TechieSidhe
Hi Captain Trips! I hear cheese disturbs you? I can't stand the stuff either. :) -mrfoxboy
CT re 13/10, if you see a UFO and recognise it, it is no longer unidentified and becomes just a FO. -AussieFoot
Just wanted to send you my sincere condolences on your loss. You do seem to have a lot to manage just at the moment. My thoughts are with you and your loved ones. I hope your so-called colleague has the manners to apologise for his extreme stupidity. -wylfwt
