It's chore enough talking to all these crusty old farts in usenet... why on earth would I want to instant message with them too?

Now, explain to me just exactly why in the Seven Bouncing Hells I would want anyone to know where I'm located? And, if I want to "instant message" anyone, I use the telephone.

JOAT If you can't say anything nice about someone, you must be talking about Hilary Clinton.

Never? I suppose in this modern era there are a few. Really though, it's not so bad. Just do your homework and proceed with caution the first few times. Be sure to take notes, as you'll need them down the road. I do it all the time and except for filling out the monthly reports, I'm almost unaware that I'm doing it. I will say this, you'll go through a LOT of rubber gloves and plastic straws so be sure to stock up. If you ever decide to give it a whirl, let us know how it goes.

Seven Bouncing Hells... damn, I gotta remember that one!

Why *wouldn't* you? You afraid the dead soldiers kook is going to come to your house and pee on your bushes?

Very often I prefer instant messaging to the phone. I suppose it's more about preference than anything else. Plus you can send/recieve files, not to mention there are no long distance charges.

Yup, that one's a keeper.

I just used an instant-messenging thingy to quote your "Never?" response from upthread at some friends. That would be a bit odd to do over the phone.... :)

LOL. I stopped by Rockler yesterday to pick up some wood screws and the place was full of "crusty old farts" watching one of those interminable demonstrations they put on.

Hell, when I walked in _I_ brought the average age down about five years.

Hello All,

I just want to say thanks for considering the new website that I've menetioned yesterday! You guys are really nice compare to somepeople who wouldn't at least consider it before sayng no. I just thought I'd be really cool having a woodworking group. I took woodshop before and it was a lot of fun.

Have a nice day!

Cabal.

You can't use it, it's copy righted.

Because if you know where I'm at, you'd probably want to visit, and if you want to pee on the bushes go ahead, just don't expect an audience.. However, if you want to come by and pee on my electric fence, I'd make an exception in your case. That would, of course, be videotaped., and copies made available to the group, at a price just sufficient to cover expenses and shipping.

It's a lot more satisfying hanging up the telephone on someone.

Amazing. You guys even need to be taught how to swear.
