I have been there, done that.
Whether you believe it or not, I was a young man who went places and did many things that most would not believe.
Not yours to believe, certainly.
Yes........I did sleep with my idol Joan Jett. Her name at the time was Joan Marie Larkin.
I slept with Larkin. She had not yet become Joan Jett.\
That was her taken stage name about 6 months later.
I met her on a side street as both teenagers.
You know what teenagers do. We kissed, and got out of control.\
She later found more affection from girls than from men. I cannot blame her for that.
The crash came when Sandy died from cancer. We thought we were all too young to die. And then of course, all the things with Cherie.

Afterwards, she went her way, I got lost......
It meant a lot to me, her, not so much,. Very sad case of a one sided love.

I will tell you this much.................
I long ago gave up trying to contact her.

The last contact I had was with her publishing company, Blackheart Records, back in, what,2014?
They told me that Jett was on tour, and not available for comment.

They were afraid then that I might come back for royalties.
I still could. I still might.

You all want some proof?
The little tattoo.
And only I and her know what and where and why.

Ask JJ about her tattoo, and she gets really scared and shy.


Because I am thee only man alive that knows.
And it shall forever be that secret/

Love you, JJ.

When I said forever, I meant forever.................
Meowsigh.

Brilliant..............
I thought I would get a car radio for Toothless.
Fine enough.
Just started to really look at it.
First, there is an adapter kit. With about three thousand bits of plastic to try to fit it into the dashboard.
And then I see this.........ir you want SiriusXM, please get the adapter kit and sign up for it. With about another twenty steps to do so.

Are you Sirius????
Like, I am gonna pay twenty bucks a month, like cable, to get access to a gaggle of channels I am never gonna listen to except on first glisten?
Like Howard Stern. My conservative nut sack is already sore enough without him inflaming it further...and I like Howard.

No, I think I'll just try to stick it in my dash without any other costs and listen to AM radio...LOL.

Now, if I can figure out all those bits of plastic in the adapter kit.................

Von Clauswitz.
To achieve victory, we must mass our forces at the hub of all power and movement.
The enemy's center of gravity.

I am proceeding. I need not say more.

OH hon, I appreciate you trying to take part in these proceedings upon my behalf.

Perhalps you would be doing better good by getting the greater good to end my ban now.l.....
I am not a man of eternal patience.

Meow.

You think that is funny, and witty./
I happen to not think so.

There are things in life not portrayed in the movies that change the way we look at things..............at least, some of us.


Pitiful servants of the masters, you are.

Mark the post was a reply to "cheers" not you so don't start . If you look at the post it's in responce to message 73125 , that post ain't from you .

So you don't have any issue with him calling me a spearchucker?

Honestly i ain't seen that post so can't comment !!

I'll throw it up your arse since you seem to like things going up there

Why don't you do us all a favor and lay off Mark / Kittyman . You're a f-ing troll and if i knew where your bridge was would put up 12 swg mesh over the spans , do hope your river ain't "tidal" !!

I am not a troll, and never have been, suckwash.
You better get your facts straight.
Or maybe ya feel lucky, eh?
And seeing as how this is an IBM Clicky, and can blow your head clean off...............
Ya gotta ask yourself one question. Do you feel lucky?

Well.................do ya, punk?

You type pretty well for someone who lost their job because they couldn't hold a spanner without their hands shaking.

Every one has faults.

Anyone that can stand before me & say they haven't...

... well I'll be standing before a liar!

Leave the man alone, most of us know Mark has some problems, to agitate him further in the hope he gets a holiday speaks much about those doing the agitating.

My purpose is exactly to agitate him further leading to a holiday here. We have to put up with his blatherings when he gets a holiday "over there". Leading to endless posts about some woman he imagines he slept with and countless youtube videos in this thread.

Since Ageless apparently doesn't read anything in here and thus doesn't move his posts to his designated thread.

Well, here I am.

I'm locking this for a day. Everyone needs a little time away.

PM me if you're upset with this decision. This will be unlocked tomorrow around this same time.

And boys and girls... the name calling and the swearing have to stop here and now.

Kathryn :o)

To the person trying to reach us, and any other wondering the same:
We do not have a moderator email list such as they do at CPDN, Seti and Einstein. Our group isn't large enough to warrant such a list, we can easily do with the Apache reports and talk among ourselves via email.

This means that when you have a time-out on your account, you'll have to wait it out until you're allowed to post again. Once your banishment is over, feel free to click on any post's report icon and fill out your complaint/request to be heard. When doing so, please refrain from using any profanities, and cuss- and swear words.

If you want any of us to contact you back, but not through the forums, then leave your email address. When reporting through the report post function, we only see who reported, but not any privileged information. We could answer through PM, but that's then just one moderator who does so.

If you have a complaint about any of the moderators, me included, then contact David Anderson. His email address can be found at the bottom of the moderation page.

On a personal note, the administrator title that I have is used to delete spammer posts. I cannot delete accounts, as I have no access to the BOINC user database. If you want your account(s) deleted, please email David.

Yes your majesty.

Caviar for breakfast?

The cat might like fish eggs, but not me.

Meowyucky.

I have asked many times about that issue and always got fobbed off at Seti. So Mods DO know WHO reported a post after all as I always suspected. Cat out of bag maybe, but it was a matter we had a right to know about.

Well I have no idea who you asked.

Of course we can see who reported a post. I and other mods often have to contact people who use the red-x for clarification as to exactly what they wish us to do as sometimes hiding/moving posts can be complicated.

The red-x is used a lot more for everyday management of threads than it is used for reporting rule breaking.

I have also contacted posters who have used the red-x to explain why the mods may not be taking action.

I assume that you have never had a mod reply to you when using the red-x.

Think it through logically, often a poster wants a post they made deleted. How would that work if the mods did not know who was reporting the post. Also an OP asking for a thread to be locked. How would the mods know it was the OP unless the red-x identified the sender.

You see conspiracy where none exists.

PS as to the deleting of accounts here, this is not SETI, there is no user data on accounts here.

Give it a rest man.

Stop agitating & when caught out, act like the injured party.

Most of your issues are your words that are either meant as bait, intention to marginalise or sheer flame.

Just stop & look at your words...

Never mind about official mods like Katherine and Jord, you listen to me.

I came here to a welcome haven from the cesspit that is Seti politics. I will NOT have that diluted by others without having something to say about it.

So, all of you behave in the sensible way that you know that adults should do.

...time you acted on those principals - especially the one underlined - Others have that right to reply to you.

BTW, thank you. I never expected to receive such a compliment from you.

Me, a powerful entity that holds sway over people, who'd thunk that. :-)

First off you are wrong Jord.

There are more ways than just deleting the information outright to make you believe it's deleted.

All of these deletions use the database, and just enable or disable a setting there:
One is what the moderators use, when they 'delete' a post: the post disappears from view for all non-elevated people. The post is still there, it's just hidden from view when you're not a moderator or administrator.

Two is similar, where the administrator changes the ID of the user to a different value. The result of this is that all data is still there, but it's inaccessible by anyone. Any posts done by the user disappear from view. Essentially, this is what's used when you're banished.

Three is similar to the previous option, but where the administrator locks the account of the user and changes key information (nickname, email address, account key) so the user can't log in anymore. Any posts they have made should still be visible.

Four is to delete the account completely. The function is available in the BOINC forum software (both here and at Seti) but on advice from me it's disabled, because there is no actual check that the person doing the account delete is actually the owner of the account. So anyone with less than noble intentions could hack your account and delete it.

Or what to think about drinking and posting, finding yourself in an angry stupor and clicking the delete button?
The account will then be gone completely, posts and all, and only still available in any last backup (which for these forums is about every 6 months).

Good grief!!

So imagine you start a thread however, someone else takes issue and asks the mods to close or hide the thread and say they are you.

If the system didn't identify the person making the request that would mean either a thread was closed/hidden with someone else requesting it.

Or, the mods would have to check with the OP for very thread request.

There is no closing ranks. It is obvious to any one that the red-x has to identify the sender.

You were not thinking logically.

High time this was dealt with, but it is early days yet, with precedents yet to be set. The Lawyers will have a field day negotiating the intended spirit of the rules.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37601431

Saw that, but thought better of posting it.

However, as you brought it to our attention, how would lawyers see this: -

"Never mind about official mods like Katherine and Jord, you listen to me."

Would they see that as a disrespect towards authority?
Would they also see it as an intended incitement?

Interesting questions are they not?
