1979-ish web site?

This previous post was a bit of irony

Are you referring to my post (not quoted) or to yours? It's difficult
to tell which since you have only quoted your words.

If "irony" refers to your words, maybe you should use
<hubris>...</hubris> tags around them too

Oh silly me, though, I keep forgetting that many of the dependents of
the barbarian hordes who toppled Roman Civilization never developed a
sense of hubris

I will take your advice though, and not be troubled by the likes of
you again.

many of the dependents of the barbarian hordes

Descendants. Dependents are people who rely on ones (usually financial)
support.

Like a dialup BBS?

I did once run a dial up BBS Dan, "Possum Joint", and I shared it's
messages with other BBS's worldwide using FIDO, but has it escaped you
that "79" was a typo for "97"?

In the 1990s, the Internet ended BBSing. The post's text did clarify
that was a typo for most persons.

centuries?

Oh silly me! I meant "millennia".

Like I said:
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Which you conveniently snipped.

It's difficult
to tell which since you have only quoted your words.

Well, no I did not. These are your words, that I left in:

It has nothing at all to do with geography. Wisdom
coming with age is a myth older persons foist on the youth.

If anything is true, it's the opposite.

If "irony" refers to your words, maybe you should use
<hubris>...</hubris> tags around them too

Oh, I see. You're just proud you learned a new little tiny nice word, are
you? You have to show it to everybody. <q><em>Good boy</em>. Well done.

Oh silly me, though, I keep forgetting that many of the dependents of
the barbarian hordes who toppled Roman Civilization never developed a
sense of hubris

And as a side effect do us a favour too.

Isn't 1704 ancient enough?

On Jay Leno's "Jaywalker" segment of his TV show, he once asked a
university coed, "About when was Jesus around?". Her reply was, "back
in the 18th Century", so that my saying "centuries" when I meant
"millennia" being noticed by so many of you is comforting, indeed.

Yep, age is so cruel. Ones "cynicism detector" is about the first
thing to go,

At least you could have gave him some constructive criticism and tell him
how to make it better instead of just saying it sucks

The site is now just some script thing that wants to install crap. Was
this just a joke?
