...I'm in favour of making the use of it here a corporal offence.

Possibly a lieutenant offence, or even a Major offence

Careful, or I'll report you to the Windows General forum...

[Jan Karel Pieterse]

Hi Leif,

If I'd say I agree, does that mean I'm a grumpy old bat who is loosing it in keeping up with modern times?

I AGREE!!!

[Bigaldoc]

... I think many Loungers aren't fond of the Twitter phenomenon.

Yeah, I for one am in that group. I opened a Twitter account about a year ago to keep up with the goings-on with our new university basketball coach and one of our departing players that everyone liked a lot. It turned out to be a joke, and like your experience, gave me a headache just wading through tons of inane comments while looking to find something of significance.

AND, it turns out that Facebook is about the same. I started getting a little active there to put some family pictures since I have so many acquaintences using it. Sheesh, it's so boring wading through all the garbage of games (farmville, fishville, gardening, ad nauseum) that many people play. Social networking may serve a purpose but it DOES give me a migrane!

PS to Stuart: I always thought it was "Leftenant" or some such spelling...

The word lieutenant is pronounced Left-tenant.

[HansV]

And how does one spell right-tenant?

Replying to Stuart's post here...
What the heck...just make it a GENERAL offence

OK...Old news. Somehow I entered this thread in the middle...I think I clicked on the orange page icon that took me to the first unread msg...

[stuck]

No one going to do the old joke... "Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard drive?"

True. Didn't mean to leave out our friends to the north.

Yes, I have a Facebook account just so I can go and visit those sites that many have told me that I should. I think there has been only about three that I have gone back and had a second look.

I have started a discussion with the other admins, to decide how long a ban this atrocity deserves.

It must be a generational thing. My son makes fun of me for spelling all the words and using proper punctuation in text messages.
