Hey now. I never lurked, I was just lucky enough to get on here at a time when there wasn't nearly as much going on. I still had a couple of common questions to ask, but no one seemed to care. I've never been flamed for asking the difference between an Icarian and a Daedalian. Granted, I do it sometimes, but IMHO, mine are much more easily distinguished as simply for comedic fun than others. I'd tell anyone politely, if the ratio of people who are funny to people who know the difference between an Icarian and a Daedalian member weren't so small (just kidding )

Not always a bad thing. Take my wife. Please. I mean, uh... Take AF's "Intelligence". Great thread. Would've been a great thread without the change in topic, although much shorter. And without it, how would people know I was twelve? =P

Actually NOONE will EVER be able to lurk enough to find all the stuff that is considered common knowledge around here. The relevant threads are huge and VERY numerous, so it's an almost impossible job to keep up with most of the discussions.
I won't appologise for not knowing some (amost all of the) stuff. It happened mainly because i started considering the investment (time and eye-damage or ink-use) useless, so i just didn't went to OT or VSP other than completely ocassionally, whenever i felt i needed some more puzzles than those on the front page. I just didn't want to make myself a huge table with addresses for the topics, because if i came back a week later, i could not find the thread i was interested in. And since the search engine got removed, i went to post only in EI and GLP. The occasional posts i make someplace else are due to links found at random in my browse through miscell. places.
But i started to divagate deliriously, so i'll get back to what i wanted to say: HAVE FUN! Do it almost any way you feel like, and if you can, help hightening the existing fun. Don't take the ocasional "flames" too hard, they're ment to make you laugh too. It's only your E-personality, in the end. |

Lepton:
I'm sorry that you feel that way Lepton...I'm not exactly someone who just sits by, passively, hoping that I'll find out the info I'm looking for. I usually just ask..you know, the "go get 'em" type...which is probably why, at 25, I am where I am today and I won't make apologies for it.
But, in this very tight knit community on G.L. I suppose a little 'research' first would do some good and would help not waste time - but as long as there are helpful individuals out there who don't mind welcoming someone who has the "inability to lurk and learn a little before jumping right into the middle of it all" (as you put it) then I'm just gonna keep trying to become familiar with this awsome site the best way I know how...thanks for the welcome, by the way...greatly appreciated!!

I think we need two new GL terms:

You're not easily fooled, congratulations. You passed the test, welcome to the GL. Unless you're a loud mouthed libertarian, in which case I've got to tell you that we already have way too many of them. And don't be a quiet socialist, either. We have enough of those, too. Not too many democrats, last time I checked. (Alright, so I never checked, sue me.)
Oh, and mithrandir is messing with my mind because... umm... he's not. |

Well, Nate...I take it that was a response to Luna warning never to listen to you...and it's a good thing to because those are some pretty heavy topics you introduce!!! But I'm sure what you hae to say is just as important just the same!!

| Great! Be a libertarian, it's the only political view. Oh, and you should be against abortion, gun control of any sort and homosexual marriages and adoptions, and for capital and corporal punishment. I'll fill you in on the rest later. |

If you look carefully alongside of the names, there usually are three pictured links. The first one is for profiles, if the person registered. In this case, in Luna's profile, the e-mail address is

Hi, Minx. Yes, my real name is Kate, yes, that's really us, yes, we did meet through this site, and yes, I suppose it is cute, in a geeky kind of way. Welcome to the GL, by the way. Oh, and don't listen to Nate. Ever.  |

Actually, that's a picture of mith and Kate. Notice the lower case 'm'. Also the fact that Kate gets her "real" name while noone - not even his parents - call Phil by his. And it's mith, never mithrandir.
Have I missed anything? |

(sorry if cute isn't the word that you would have used but it is...) Well, it's now mid-August and I'm curious...are you two 'together'?? What's going on??? |

I'd like a Limey-American translation of the following words:
merely sitting on the floor listening to a CD
Thanks. |

~sigh~ need I even say that IS is lying? unless, of course, you count merely sitting on the floor listening to a CD as 'getting all sorts of freaky'.
I hate you IS |

Not as bad as when I caught them getting all sorts of freaky on the floor in that room. Even after I provided them with their own room with a bed and handcuffs.
Geesh, everytime I walk in there that painful memory still lingers.
I hate you Luna

Why thank you very much Luna. And I certainly don't mind if you take a month or more to respond, I just felt I needed a bit of reassurance that you had actually recieved them before I waited that long.
Sorry Nate. Maybe some other time . |
