@@ What is Happening? [Wrap4] Sunday 7/2/16 Sydney, Australia Time 9:15pm ♪ ♫
Hi everyone,
It's been a quiet Saturday/Sunday. Not that many good questions but more than our fair share of nuisance posts that had to be deleted.
Anyway:
Threre are ALWAYS some good questions and they are ALWAYS accompanied by good and interesting answers.
Today our industrious answerers are CPhill, rarinstraw1195, Dragonslayer554, Amberella, asinus, gliu1, BruceWayne, Heureka, Solveit, Geno3141 and Hayley1.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm and your great answers ![]()
Communications:
I will now take this opportunity to talk about this problem of obnoxious posts and posters ![]()
A person who makes these unpleasant posts is looking for a reaction - any reaction! As soon as you put words into a reply post you are giving this person exactly what they want, you are giving them attention! If you do not respond at all the person can derive no reaction thrill. It would feel to him like he is trying to prod a brick wall. He'll get bored with that very soon and go find a different playground that might be more fun.
SO PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND AT ALL!
Yesterday I gave a happy belated birthday message to TitaniumRome. Titanium, InjustaGod and Rarinstraw all expressed their pleasure and the break in the wrap drought. Thanks guys, Titanium also gave me a peice of his birthday cake. Since forum cakes are non-diminishing, I would like to share it with all of you. ENJOY! ![]()

Interest Posts:
If you ask or answer an interesting question, you can private message the address to me (with copy and paste) and I will include it. Of course only members are able to do this. I quite likely will not see it if you do not show me.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
CPhill chose all the interest posts tonight so maybe you might get something a little different.
Thanks Chris, I really appreciate your contribution. ![]()
