It's a SYN there were no takers on my OP. Pfft! It used to be easier to troll the tech forum; I was guaranteed at least one seven byte reply. Perhaps too many millenials in SL these days.

Cool reply, Venus. But, imho, I think this one is the troll and the one you called a troll is just an idiot. Go figure.

Pfft! Opening a quid is just as easy; as demonstrated in this video.

Linden Lab is a business, and it runs SL as a business. Why don't you stop counting their money. And an even more egregious act is that you are counting my money. Don't preach to me where and how to spend either my money or my time.

I'm shuffling around Morrison's with a blank face and dead eyes, buying some vittles. They've still got pomegranates at four for a quid, Is it true that in England, as well as driving on the wrong side of the road, supermarkets make unhealthy people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy citizens can buy cigarettes at the front counter? Just askin. PS Hep cats live in hep hoods. For instance, I can buy four quid for one pomegranate. Just sayin.

LaskyaClaren wrote: It looks to me as though its time to move on to elegy. I remember saying, maybe a year ago or so, that obviously the new forum community liked it "quieter" here, and that that preference was their right. I'd congratulate them on establishing the Peace of the Grave, except that there is almost no one left to accept it. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe there is a community here that extends further than the four very familiar old faces who've bothered to post on this thread, but I'm not seeing it. Llazarus, Deja, Celestiall, and especially Derek, thanks for taking the time to do so. I wish you well in your new demesne, which seems to be pretty much your own to do with as you see fit. Pfft! No reason to piss on my parade. I came back when all the trolls left. I'm happier now.

[ OED] Sometimes I am a troll. Or so I have on occasion been told. Or . . . maybe I'm just trolling you all now? All I ever wanted was to be a successful troll. But, no. Instead I was labeled a pornographer, a pedophile, a **bleep**, a pimp, a poet, homophobic, a racist; and those were only from the LWL. All I ever wanted to do was troll. What a fail.

LlazarusLlong wrote: English writers would almost certainly put it outside the parenthesis. Americans might put it inside, as they do with punctuation relating to speech, but personally I find that clumsy. Ideally, as with most issues where there seems ambiguity of treatment, you would write so that you didn't need to make a decision. I find myself reformatting sentences quite a lot when, on second look, they appear inelegant. For example, the sentence Venus wrote could be rewritten: This is why I also request feedback from their (mostly internal) customers. Or if you didn't like parentheses this would be OK, although it appears a little disjointed: This is why I also request feedback from their, mostly internal, customers. And it flows better when the qualification is in a separate clause: This is why I also request feedback from their customers, who are mostly internal. Cool post. Thanks.

Venus Petrov wrote: I placed it outside because it is at the end of the sentence. Their customers are mostly internal to the company. If I placed the period inside the parens, I would need another outside the parens to end the sentence. Why do you suggest it be inside the parens? Now my ignorance is on display, but I learned. As you already know, I don't write as well as you. I was taught to place the period inside when it ends the sentence. Go figure. I tried to tell those nuns they were beating the grammar out of me . . .

Venus Petrov wrote: This is why I also request feedback from their customers (mostly internal). Just exactly where should that period be placed? I say' within' the parenthesis. Correct me if I'm wrong and tell my why.
