[Probably related to dept_geek's]
I'm just glad I'm not your friend. And, may I suggest that you not tell your lawyer friend that you don't consider him an academic? Got news for you, he's probably entitled to use that 'Dr.' title, too, even though most don't.

If a pouting pluot ploughman planted pluots in a plot, and the plot were ploughed on Pluto, would his pluot ploy play out?

Hey, hotshot. I hope you get a big fat dose of humility soon.
Preferably somewhere painful.

Gee, I have a busy weekend, and look at all the "fun" I've missed. I have no idea what most of these one-offs relate to - a part of me really wants to, but the other, more sensible, part says, "It's much safer this way."
<unrelated> Every time I see you post, you seem to be attacking someone. I'm sure it just seems that way, but can you be a little more understanding? You make me want the "ignore user" function.

We probably don't have the same person/people in mind, but I spent several hours the other day combing the web for (and installing) Greasemonkey scripts and Firefox add-ons that would make this possible from the user end. Sadly, none of them worked, even those that were for the PHP language that SMF is written in. Can anyone write a Greasemonkey script or a FF add-on that would make this happen? I swear I will learn how to write scripts myself in order to do this -- that's how much I want these people gone from my virtual life. VP

I'm double posting, but mostly because I am one-offing because this wouldn't actually be a helpful contribution to the thread, but it amuses me to no end:
iphoto is convinced my friend is Russ Feingold and tags all his photos as such.

How in the world did iPhoto get that idea?

How in the world did iPhoto get that idea? Well, he has some photos of Russ Feingold that were manually tagged. And they have some similar facial features. So the facial recognition in iphoto seems to keep identifying my friend as Russ instead of himself. I would hope that iPhoto gets "trained" with more manual correcting and tagging and this problem will eventually go away, but in the meantime, it amuses me.
