hi how r u i m joining ur group

You are not the owner of this group;
There is no owner! It is not possible

Perhaps prabu's humor was too subtle for others in this group?

(Or perhaps my humor radar is too sensitive, and he really was
serious?)

You are on *Usenet*, not a chat room. Wikipedia also has lots of good
information on computers and programming. You will get precious few
useful
answers unless you use standard English in your posts.

<pedant>
Well, there are plenty of people here whose native language is not
English (or its American cousin), and we understand that. As long
as an attempt to use "proper English" is seen, I don't think many
people here have a problem working with you. (I'm sure their
English is much better than my use of their native tongue.)
</pedant>

You seem to think you can read minds. You certainly can't read *my* mind.
I will never again respond to posts from this user using that obnoxious
spelling.. I gave him one chance to correct his ways. The post you linked
to was it.

I enjoyed reading prabu's post a few times.
It's really pretty good.

Perhaps you missed the paragraph that you didn't quote?

However, obvious lack of attempt, or worse -- silly abbreviations
like "how r u" -- are usually met with disdain.

Well one of them at least...

Chris, you know perfectly well that you can't chuck a brick in here
without hitting at least half a dozen Richards (and, come to think of
it, three or four Chrises). Please be specific.

Sorry, I meant the other Richard.....

Sorry, I meant the other Richard.....

Me neither .... You must be thinking of Mr Heathfield or the
irrepressible CBFalconer.

When we next have an OT argument we can copy all the
posts to The Owner for adjudication.. Or more probably abdication

Does this mean I have to change my name to Richard?

No, The_Other_Keith does.

Not if you can find enough other Keiths or you want to own the group.

 

[Keith Thompson]

No, The_Other_Keith does.

I *am* The_Other_Keith. Perhaps The_Other_Other_Keith needs to change
his name, but I haven't seen him in a few years.

Well, Keith Richard_s_ (this is what your URL redirects to) is still alive,
sort of , just recently he had a gig in my home town.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Thompson and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._Keith_Thompson seem to be alive still too.
In either case it seems reasonable that The_Other_Keith seems to like being
distinguished from these...

Bye, Jojo

Isn't all of this OT?
