Yeah, yeah, I know. But still...that was a lot of work.

You are quite chatty but it is by using the patented single sentence format. (SSF) as we say in the industry. . . .

I'm not arguing that. That was a mind-numbing (and hand and wrist cramping) task. Very much appreciated. I wouldn't slight you for that.

Well, I'm concise and to the point, usually. Most of the time I just have a bit to say to each post...is that wrong? I mean, that's how most people are.

So beside the SSF technique there is the even faster and "sign of the times" method to communicate.

You make it sound like I'm being critical. Not at all.

I am the "maverick." I am the odd one in the bunch. (And *THAT* is saying something)

My posts tend to be exhausting explanations of trivia and minutia, or, strong attempts to sway ideologies.

No, I didn't think that at all. And your posts aren't exhausting.

Anyway, Fly. Enough about you - this is all about me . .



The other thing I have noticed is the global tendency to "feel" more than "think."

Haha, I forgot...it's not about me...I tend to forget that all the time. My memory, you know...

Conversations and decisions are mostly punctuated with the notion that "Thinking is hard." At the same time, people say things such as, ""I feel that . . "
or, "If that were me, I would not want . . " There is an aversion to thinking.

I totally did not understand that...lol

There are expressions such as "Narrow minded" while for emotions someone is said to be "Open hearted." There is a distinct and real bias against thinking.

To corroborate this observation, I give you, the "Smiley."

Now, emoticons are fine and are very helpful in enhancing the messaging experience by quickly conveying a lot of information.

I accept that smilie, and I give you this one...

A picture is said to be worth a thousand words so why not just speak with smileys? Some people do and it gets counted as a post.

I suppose I should be glad that it doesn't get counted as a thousand?

Well, Thank You, Fly. I like this one . . .

So there is another way to quickly add to one's post count just by sending smileys.

Haha, we used to use them all the time when we first started the aby on the other board. Now I rarely use them.

Of course, that was because we were so happy to be here, and it was so different and fun...and we said 'fuck' a lot...just cuz we could...lol

is probably my favorite smiley in the current bunch.

It was probably the same feeling as a sleepover with no parents around, huh? Everybody did what had been prohibited and went a little wild and then simmered down and fell asleep!
