Hey Z man - I know that you have the power to delete posts because that real offensive one on the donations thread is now gone. It may take a little time, but can I suggest you track down and delete purre's posts for the past 24 hours - she obviously trolled at Attalus and yourself on several threads. I am more than happy to go and remove and places that I quoted her rubbish, and I am sure that others would be similarly inclined. It will only suit their (the trolls) purpose to sit back and look at the current state of affairs - how about we do a bit of spring cleaning. [img]smile.gif[/img]

OK - just saw the "sanitised" derailed thread - looks like I spoke too soon, and operation clean-up had already started [img]smile.gif[/img]

poor davros ;)

Looks at bank balance - hmmm, not that bad :D

smartypants [img]smile.gif[/img]

:D

Just had to reply about your sig though - as an engineer it is not a saying I can live by - even when it is not broke, it can be improved to make it work better. Having said that, I have met a few Electrical / Instruments Foremen and Supervisors that subscribe to your theory ;)

All I can say is that I'm really disappointed on the way people are acting. People have feelings and you shouldn't joke around with them. [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img]

u are right nano.. im just tryin to lighten the mood.. too much crap on the forum today.. humor is the only way to fix it at times... at least im not fight online like most do..

I got the threads cleaned up ;) took some time, but most everything is clean now. As far as what happened? Humph. I saw it coming, as did others... oh well, no big deal, everything is back to normal, and we'll leave that behind us [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Thanks for the offer though Davros!! I just cleaned it all up before I read this post [img]smile.gif[/img]

The obscenity is being deleted, Davros. That stuff de-railed a few discussions and Z has removed alot of it now. If you come across any more obscenity, report the post.

edit: LOL, I'm a little slow on the uptake tonight! Posted as Z posted his above

I don't know where you are coming from Nano - I suggested a clean-up and it was already underway. Other that that I have been playing word games with Mr Windrider that have nothing to do with the matters of the original post. What is your problem - are you suggesting that the trash posts be preserved - if so - WHY?

enough of that mess.. so how is things in other parts of world?? weather,sports and gaming :D

Lets's see - the weather is HOT!!!!! [img]tongue.gif[/img] - 40 deg C yesterday - 42 deg C today - not a breath of a sea breeze anywhere (which is why I am inside in the air conditioning)
Sports - well Australia beat Great Britian in the Davis Cup, but it wasn;t really a sporting contest - the world cricket cup starts today, and it's almost (Australian) football season.
Gaming - I am about 80% through Morrowind ;)

Engineer Creed

If it ain't broke .... it just doesn't have enough features yet! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hey - cool - I might add that to my sig [img]smile.gif[/img] - mind if I pinch it?

Mechanics creed: if an engineer is involved, he should be forced to work on it for a year before finalizing the design. :D

Don't put words in my mouth. I'm not saying we should keep them, I'm just frustrated that people are acting the way they are. I learnt just recently that it's not in one's best interest to play with emotions. It saddens me to see people be hurtful to one another when we all come here for the sole purpose of getting away from that.

Well - mechanical engineers - I could probably agree with that - but on the other hand - Chemical Engineers just wouldn't make those mis.... ;)

davros, have they controlled pretty much the fires in aussieland??? nano, sorry if u think im being heartless towards the mess at hand. i wasnt trying to be an jerk, i was just conversing with davros on things. i think we should drop the whole mess thingy... just have fun :D

Coming into the weekend the fires were pretty much out or undercontrol, but a scorcher of a weekend here means that the rest of the country will get that weather over the next 4 or 5 days (weather over the south of the country usually flows across from west to east), so all we can do is hope that nothing big breaks.

Don't worry, I wasn't including you in the "people" and "they". [img]smile.gif[/img]

oh geez...walk away for a day and things go down! being a woman and a lover of gossip...er, useful info...i'd love to know what's going! but no one will tell me, not that i have asked. just glad to see the situation well in hand! weather here is cold with snow on the ground. sports i haven't a clue! but i can telly ou all about lilo and stitch! disney!

i need a beer :D

I have a suggestion. Maybe we could have a forum dedicated to blowing off steam at people. Make it the only place where you can call someone a no good S.O.B. and not get in trouble. It would give people like Purre and Lord Shield a place to vent and complain without causeing a disruption in other threads. It might help them to cool off and not cause trouble in other places. We could call it the arena or maybe drama central.

Davros .... go right ahead!

Of course, we all know that Software Engineers never make such glaring or disasterous design errors ... [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img] :rolleyes:

[img]graemlins/outtahere.gif[/img]

na hunter its better to leave things alone and just have fun in the forum.. too much crap like that outside of the forum.. why let everyone else in ppl's business.

Sorry dude - no beer here - I do have a case of FOSTERS just in case Donut or Mouse ever pay me a visit, but that's not really beer - that is just there for my revenge on them ;)

HoJ and RevRuby - I didn't post this thread to discuss the events of today, and expect if it starts doing that it will be shut down quick smart - try and keep off that topic please. [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL - you are kidding - software engineers can be the bane of my existance - I don't want the control program to do this - I want it to do that :D - can't you rejig the program [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]

lol u two are crazy :D

I blame the break in the football season - it has been toooooo long - my team is going for the threepeat this year - hasn't been achieved in over 40 years ;)

lol

Of course we can always gin something up .... but you realise the hoops we have to jump through right? Why can't the hardware folks just make their signals and interupts easier to interface with? LOL!

*sigh*

Yet again software must make up for the obvious lack in hardware design ..... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
[img]graemlins/outtahere.gif[/img]

Well this heat is getting to me - unfortunately the computer room is not air-conditioned. It's time to take a shower and retreat for the afternoon to the air conditioned bedroom. Here's lookng forward to last years bonus which is due to arrive in my nank account next week - a split system with 4 outlets is looking like it should e high on my priority list. Programmable hopefully (if their software engineers are any good :D ). Talk to you again when it is cooler [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't worry, I wasn't including you in the "people" and "they". [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Are you including me?

Yeah, but if people want to really act like that, all they need to do is go to Megabots for or Lord Shields Forums.. [img]smile.gif[/img] They have these 'anything goes' forums I've been told.

As for something like that here? lol, never!

testing post..

Just wanted to say: Purre wasn't doing what LS told her. It's simple logic, really, <EDITED OUT BY ZIROC>

[Ziroc: Kaltia, no more, ok? let it drop.]

Thanks Z - no problems with you either Kaltia, just wanted to keep the waters calm - there are enough boats rocking in the harbour today
