Dude, knowing your native language is not the sign of being a Nazi but of being educated.

Many thanks to all those who pitch in with $.02. While I still feel homicidal I no longer feel alone.

This has been a rather cathartic exercise.

No, knowing your native language is a sign of being educated. Pointing out others lesser grasp of the language makes you a Nazi.

But the tread is truly over now because it has been Godwin'd. Godwin's law trumps Daculling's law.

Ah to watch a thread die, reminds me of young love saying goodbye on the phone...

You hang up.
No,You hang up.
You hang up.
No,You hang up.
Ok, I'll hang up.

Are you still there?

You hang up.
No,You hang up.
You hang up.
No,You hang up.

Of approximately 240 threads that I have been involved in, 28 of them end with one of my posts. I can only conclude from this that I have approximately a 12% chance of bringing a thread to a crashing halt. :cry:

Which gives it a good 88% chance that you won't. 8)

I'm more of an atmosphere killer.

Every thread I put my dirty hands on ends in bitterness and despair.

It's just the way I am... :cry:
