resp:79 Yeah, except that that really didn't happen. That said, given
the context, Steve's actions were NOT unreasonable. The real problem
wasn't that newuser got turned off as a stopgap; the problem was that we
never figured out how to turn it back on.
resp:80 [last paragraph] I'm not sure what purpose that would serve.
Are you trying to antagonize Steve into doing something so drastic that
the resulting community uproar would toss him out of grex? I don't
think that's likely to happen.
resp:81 That just sounds bitter. And, frankly, a little lame:
communities change over time, just like neighborhoods. It's not dying,
it's changing. That it's changing to something you don't particularly
care for is totally irrelevant, and speaks more about you than it does
about everybody else. Now, that said, if you have something productive
to add, we're all ears....

"Too many lars. Not enough delizias.
Why online communities die."
I thought it was because of morbidly obese ugly women.

Do you like what you see in YOUR mirror? Do you even bother to ever notice.
While we're at it, do you look ANY deeper, at ANY time, than surface?
Gawd, you're a lonely and bitter man...

Re #79: "your slurs exhibit al the pathos of an immature thinker - try
again."
I beg to differ: "an axe to grind" seems to be more appropriate. <bops
the scholar on ze head - you seem to forget sweetie that there are
elections held, so it *IS* an open community>
Re #83: She isn't even close to being morbidly obese. You shouldn't
abandon honesty when you attack someone, it looses all its *sting*
*Mmm* my lunch is not half bad :) Cold chicken with rice+carrots but
there is tangy bread with butter and just the right amount of tang to it
:) I need that tangy-jammy recipe :)
Actually, maybe, would it be possible to backup the Grex server and give
complete root access to scholar, cdalten and lar just for like a month
or so AFTER warning everyone?? Or maybe setup an alternate domain using
VMware?? evvvilhax0r.cyberspace.org.
Hmm come to think off it, scholar is a canuck, canucks have cheap
bandwidth - can't he run a temporary thing on his home box and if things
work out.. just a suggestion - I wouldn't dream of allowing scholar,
chad and maybe lar near the actual grex server but maybe we could all
login (and use different passwords for his box) and see how things are
run there...
Just a suggestion, no nasty flames please. It would resolve to some
extent this problem.. It would be fun, it might really take off, we have
another box to play with, and it would feel like Grex :)

Being lied to by an organisation I have donated hundreds of dollars to does
sort of give me an ax to grind, yeah.

I don't have records of the exact amount, but I definitely donated quite a
bit, especially compared to my income.

Sheesh! Grr! I only just started working this month, and though I am a
plutocrat right now, my main paycheck hasn't arrived as yet! Plus if you
think I'm going to postpone my new computer by a additional few seconds
from the moment the money hits my account, think again <glares at Lar
and Sindi> I mean Sheesh! Grrr! Plus you guys are rolling in dough and
it's not like you got Scrooge on your doorstep! And if you think I'm
simply stalling think again! A new comp costs like 30-35K minimum with
UPS. I mean sheesh I'm using a 400Mhz right now! And I need a new pair
of shoes! Given that I have a surplus of 10K from one contract job and
approximately 25K from the regular job (and god knows what the
deductions will be on that) I might still wind up a little short!

600 U.S. dollars = 25525.3978 Indian rupees
You can do a Google: 600 USD to INR and it will convert for you. Works
for any currency i think. You can't compare currencies like that
though.. price of articles is more accurate.
