P.S. the safe word is "aluminum".

Alu-min-ium Its only had the extra "i" in it since 1812, to sound more like magnesium, potassium, sodium. ....either spelling is acceptable.

:smileytongue: Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of things I should be doing around the house but I'm putting them off so I can argue on the Internet instead. :smileywink:

Thank you, and you're absolutely right... I've been conflicted about uploading such huge images to this thread (derail!) so often for the few wonderful people who have said they like them, there's probably a dozen more that'd wish I'd shut the hell up and stop posting them. Gotta be realistic. :smileywink: But yes, I've been thinking of alternatives. I'll finish off the current story arc (once I can get Marigold to stand on one of my pose stands for an hour or so) and go from there.

Touché. :smileywink: P.S. My fort is an inflatable hover fort. So there.

Or say someone comes in and posts "What's up with child avatars?! They don't belong here!" with no real interest in the topic, making said post just to stir up arguments and flame wars among the regulars. It works really well. :smileysad:

P.S. to Keli: pfft!

And a very warm welcome back to you, Quinn. :smileytongue: (I don't mean to hijack every thread, really I don't...)

:smileytongue: Thank you all for the kind words. :smileytongue:

You assume I counted myself among the genuinely intelligent? I don't. Boxes of rocks beat me at chess regularly. But it's nice to know where one stands in the grand scheme of things.

The problem with making a list of well-known kooks and weirdos is that the rest of the real kooks and weirdos go on unnoticed in the crowd with the "normal" people. Like us. And we all know labels and classifications are always completely, 100% accurate, always. Even more so when in graph form. The older I get the more I believe the only genuinely intelligent people are the ones that withdraw themselves from society and become hermits. I mean, how else could you deal with all the idiocy?

Ah, heck, who am I kidding? I don't even leave the house.

It's the thought that counts. :smileywink: The problem is finding a good place with interesting people... all I seem to find are the awful places with gesturbators and lonely old guys with bad hair.

I'd like to complain about my Backspace key. I'll have a reply all typed out to some posts that's snarky, sarcastic. condescending, derailing and sometimes just downright mean.. and then I'll think better of it and use the backspace key and not send it. While you're at it, can you fix the steering wheel in my truck? There was a crowd of hipsters on the street corner one day and I couldn't bring myself to run them over.

@Void and Dee -- thank you. :smileyhappy:

It's also possible someone is logging you in and sending the spam manually. You've changed your password and it's still happening? You might consider downloading and running one of the spyware/keylogger applications, like Malwarebyte's Ant-malware or Spybot - Seach & Destroy in order to make sure nobody is accessing your computer from anywhere else.
