One thing I hate about this site!

Ha, I hadn't seen this thread until now!

Waldo...that phone bill won't look like much once we get you into a CC!


   What were you doing up so late last night, your wife put you on the couch? Steve knows what thats all about...I'm gonna invest in futons when I get married!

So we're thinking he has internet challenges or another serious issue that may need dealing with?     

The only text I know about tends to come in books, so...

Greg, does Windows 7 come with an 8-tack adapter, or do you have to get that as an option?

Private message feature would be awesome for this site. How much would it cost to get it added? We could all lay down some Paypal bucks.

I've gotten a few as well. I feel bad for about 2 seconds and give it a shrug. I even posted one recently and still didn't hear back. The flip side is I just fixed my location yesterday after Tull brought it up again.

I was texting back and forth with a bud last week for over an hour when I thought, Gee, if only I could talk to him.

They probably aren't aware their email is off.

Is off the default setting during registration? If so I can easily see how this is a common issue.

LOL. If we're going back that far, what about AOL?

I actually agree with Tim on this one. Not sure if its an easy fix, but a PM feature would be nice. Ive gotten several emails that I cant reply to from people with private email addresses. While Id like to help, Im not about to make a special post for every single one of them and try and track them down!

Like many others, Ive got a close group of friends Ive made here that Im always calling or emailing- thats not the issue. There are lots of people I dont know all that well (yet) that I wouldnt mind communicating with a little more easily.

huh, thought it was going to be:
New contributers that quickly get their itty bity fewwings hurt and have a checkout-line tantrum...

I see these kids on phones all the time and just wonder how long before
they have had enough.

Being on the phone at work from 8 to 12 hours on a problem, possibly with at translator, broke me of phone use.
I also learned that with a phone, people will respond quickly and not be completely correct or accurate.
But if using email, they think about what they are typing and actually provide more complete and accurate information. Also, there is a record of the conversation. Hard to say "I did not say that" when you see it in type.

I am an email communicator. Kind of like we do here.... type a note and
await a response.... or not.
