Dear a lot of forum goers, <br /> It seems my perpetual bane that when I make a joke (especially the slightly-sarcastic ones) that people take it seriously, and I get on their bad side[:(]. This happens to me especially in real life when I sadly do not have the benefit of "emotions" to use. It also works in reverse occasionaly: when I am serious, people will ocasionally think I'm joking[^]. I am certain that my location statement (see upper left) or my signature will eventually probably offend someone, but that person <b>really</b> needs to learn how to take a joke[:)][:D][8D]. I try to use good spelling and grammar, as I did manage to pass English class[:)][:D][8D][:o)][8)][^]. (<b>That was a joke. Please do not become offended by it</b>. The last thing I need to do is alienate the forum.) I think I'm doing fairly good...I mean well...at it too.[:)][:D][8D][:o)][8)][^] <br /> If I frequent these forums enough I will end up knowing more vocabulary for computers than railroads...but I can still make 99.99999% of the <i>world's </i>population (not the forum's population, because most of you know) wonder "what is that person talking about" with the following expression: <br />"some double-headed mikes running under catenary on the hill flung a side rod while the conductor was sorting tissue and the engineer was polishing diamonds. And then a mallet came along in simpled mode, and split the diamond and semaphores." But don't worry, I don't readily use that expression in my daily life (come to think of it, this is the first time I said it). [:)][:D][8D]
