paging everyone...

oh sure - I was definitely a twat when I was 17.

 

As well as having the news groups widest vocabulary[1], Mr Bear was
also a master of puncturation, sentence structure and the drinking
of lesser men under the table[2].

[1]There is evidence to back up this claim.
[2]Arakis exists to train the faithful.

 

I've met you and I'd be quite happy if you died. I'd be even happier if
you died in pain with a shitload of your hook-nosed sky fairy mates
dying around you too.

The 'It's only words on Usenet' defence wore thin a few years ago - you
were a **** then, you're more of a **** now.

 

Yeah but I think I was second or something so your method was clearly
faulty.

 

I don't remember seeing you drinking! However... Err.. How many bottles of
absinthe was that......? Sambuca...? Errrrrr oh yes.

Regex word split yes that was it. Far from perfect but it was all for a bit
of fun anyway. If you fancy I can mail you the code and you can giggle at
my regex.

 

No one said you had to read any of it.

But on the bright side, it is upping the NG usage stats

 

Meaningless unless adminstered by an independent, qualified professional and
still meaningless unless the test used is cited. Still pretty meaningless
even with this added info. Also - different tests can produce different
"IQ" scores. Wechsler Stanford-Binet and Cattel and other tests could all
produce different scores for the same level of ability.

 

I've snipped the extra shit out.

 

I ought to append <irony> tags to all my posts, just to save you guys
the bother.

 

Oh, I dunno. I'd consider them as bites.

 

well, there is that.

I wasn't really trolling though - as I discussed with Ogden IRL a
month or so ago (and which he confirmed he did the same), I post stuff
for my own amusement, not for that of the rest of you.

 

you make so many assumptions, it's laughable.

for instance, think about the medium through which you "learned" that
I was "wishing"[1] death on you - isn't it just "words post to
Usenet"?

[1] by the way, it was a "hope" not a "wish". Subtle difference.

 

If I relied on you lot to post something worth reading, I might as well
give up.
