A thread to post your positive and negative thoughts into. Doesn't matter really what on, or whom on. No flames, please. And if you don't mind, no signatures either. |

Let me start off with my pet grumble peeve, people answering to a post in a thread, quoting the whole previous post and adding their single line of nothingness at the bottom. No editing of the quote so it's culled down to what they actually answer to; not being able to just reply; they're usually the first person answering and they need to quote the whole post, doesn't matter how long the thing is. |

People who think the entire world uses screens 30 characters wide and 5 lines tall. |

I haven't been into politics for AGES! Not even a nose poked through the door... *sigh* Not getting enough cafe time either :( and there's a graph at Einstein that still needs correcting... :) |

I hate people that bump unanswered posts by replying to themselves with: Nobody? Here's a couple of clues - Either nobody knows the answer, or nobody can decipher your gibberish, or perhaps everyone just hates you. Especially if you bump the thread after less than 24 hours. Just sayin' |

I hate people that bump unanswered posts by replying to themselves with: I suspect it was all three when I did that at cosmology some moons ago. Bored myself in the end :) |

It is when you start losing those arguments ... |

Irritating. Just turned the TV server off. After 15 minutes I noticed it wasn't off yet. Turned the TV back on: "Do not turn your system off. Installing 1 of 12 updates." Sigh. Just hoping it doesn't push Windows 10 update files on it, which will install 10 tomorrow when I restart that system. ;-) |

Government regulator idiots who insist on cash basis when accrual basis is the only method that makes sense |

Grumble - all these techies who decided to do their work on the left coast of North America, so there isn't a hope in hell of them finishing before civilised countries have gone to bed. |

Other halves who think standing in one place banging-on about not being able to find something is what actually constitutes "looking for it" |

I hate people that bump unanswered posts by replying to themselves with: I always wait at least a week on the word link thread. |

It's always in the last place you look for it! |

Stony glares until 'er indoors finds where she left it .... But I can't shake the feeling Annie wasn't talking about herself, but more about her manly better half. Even I felt spoken about. :) |
