Yeah - you've been here for years, didn't you
loin anything about us?
Perhaps a bit... ;)
Just kidney you.
I know you had to bring that up, but let's not
go any farther along that line.
I wasn't planning to go farther, but, yes, I had to bring that up.. :)
Also there were some bbs softwares (and messaging softwares, I think)
that just chopped off anything past a certain length, so a lot could go missing....
Which would have made a lot of sense in those
days of more pricy communication.
I was given to understand that it was somewhat a flaw in the software,
not intentional...
If it was a flaw, it was a convenient one for
cost-cutting syops.
I'm glad that with EMACS and BW, I don't have to worry about not being able to trim down quotes... the editor that comes with Pegasus (my email reader) isn't quite so user-friendly, at least for me... I've been known to not quote at all there, just because all I wanted to respond to was a smaller bit I couldn't crop down to...
Whatever works. There should be a way within
your reader, though.
It requires much more proficiency with pointing devices and their magic spells as opposed to the keyboard magic spells I can handle just fine...
No way to map keyboard shenanigans, which you
should be good at, with the editing functions?
I was seldom if ever the taunter unless taunted upon
first. As far as being the victim, sure, that
happened, but much more seldom as time went on, as
I learned that fighting back (in whatever way) was
satisfying, even if, as more frequently happened, I
unjustly got the blame for the incitation.
I didn't exactly fight back, but in time, there was much less being a
victim, mostly from learning how to diffuse situations... also I did
stand up for other victims, even if quietly....
I wasn't massively confrontational but was perfectly
happy to aid anyone who in my eyes needed such support,
well, with one exception, a terminally annoying kid
who, as many such do, ended up being a deejay.
They seem to be, from the performances I've heard... of course, it's
radio so one can't view the performance... :)
We've recently gone from audio preliminary auditions
to video ones, and I hate it.
With the video auditions one can see annoying traits one might have been
more blssfully unaware of otherwise...?
They add distractions that one can do without, and
despite efforts to the contrary, judges are more swayed
by appearance than they ought to be. I'm against it,
having seen outward charm and physical attraction
carry way too much weight. It's been represented to
me that the visual aspect is part of the enjoyment
of a performance, but I've countered that the quality
of the music must come first by a wide margin. It's
interesting that of the seven most current members of
this committee, six are performers, and four are
accounted very attractive, and the other two of us
are not so bad. Our chair has recently turned in her
resignation both from the committee and from the
association itself, as our board of directors has been
hostile to our attempts to focus our financial aid on
worthy but less privileged candidates. She is joining
the board of a nonprofit whose mission is to put
musical instruments in the hands of the very needy
and that is potentially one of our beneficiaries.
