Jose', you finally made use of the secret weapon of the Ites! Penguin will be so proud of you!
And if people thought Lucas' writing was for the advanced what would they say about yours?

Poor guy...
I am as QM has said very happy the force has grown in power, but "verter", Vadar, coincidence? I would hope so but the "ites" have said I am too young to convert, still being under thirty. Whereas the "ers," well the "ers" are just wandering around in tiny circles at the moment trying to figure out why the giant ball in the sky is so hot and disappears sometimes, so they are of no consequence.
I have recieved my call and shall be trained in the ways of "ite" in Carolinoba all summer, upon return in August all "ers" will be forcibly converted (if I fall to the dark side) or mocked mercilessly.
Jose, this is priceless, and could be modified so that every school librarian could post this....WONDERFUL!

One Spring Break several years ago an odd and strange group flew into the world of The Ites. These were the "I'm-20-something-Or-Under,and-I-Don't-Need-To-Search-ers." The "Ers" were cocky without any foundation, and tore through everything in sight.
but, why are you being prejudiced towards the "20-somethings" on this board? one's ability to use a search feature isn't based on their age - it's based on their ability to be observative individual and notice the link at the top of the board or to listen when someone yells at them to use it.
I shouldn't really speak for Jose' but some people take this whole age thing a bit too seriously at the moment and hence people make fun of/with it.
I'm sure Jose' was just teasing the kiddies.... as some of them are a bit paranoid at the moment and it's so easy to tease them.

And this is different from my request for people to use appropriate titles how? Oh yes. It's a movie parody. Wonderful. Not at all hypocritical though.

The Ites fought courageously, pitting the dim side of the brain against the bright.
I'm thinking there needs to be an html code to create scrolly slantly letters a la Star Wars Prologue.
Very true, Nia but then I will always miss what people are actually saying... just like this time and all the other times I saw Star Wars in a movie theater.
I'm always so prepared when the famous words start scrolling up, I'm ok with the first two sentences, then I miss a word, I fall behind and become an emotional mess.

Does anyone else agree with me when I say that a thread pinned to the top of the message board should be a serious, professional thread? Not written so people feel like idiots?
If it was Rob who pinned this, I apologize for my snarkiness. But I think that my "please use detailed subjects in your threads" thread was equally deserving.

I don't.
People who have an anathema to using the search feature should welcome the opportunity to learn how to use the board.
Pinning this particular thread to the top of the list certainly beats most of threads for topicality, but that's just my opinion. Besides, several folks asked that it be pinned there.
If you believe you have a legitmate complaint, send a note to Rob. I'm sure he'll give you a hearing.
Cheers!

No need to do that. I just would have gone about this differently.
not written so people feel like idiots?
heh. now, if you feel like an idiot, 11, it may have little or nothing to do with this thread.
excellent post...

Jose - I had an idea. It may not be a new one, but here goes. I was thinking that maybe you guys could send an E-mail to all the newbies when they first sign up with some helpful tips on posting an etiquette.
Then maybe we wouldn't all have to learn the hard way. Then again, I guess trashing the newbies is half the fun.
Just a thought, and I'm sure everyone would help out with the list of tips.
Nice idea. But then that would take all the fun out of learning the hard way.

I just wanted to post here so my Name would be pinned at the top of the Board.
I just looked at this thread for the first time, because my brain thought it was something that had to do with Star Wars.
