"Like an old door, every man past a certain age comes with historical warps and creaks of one kind or another, and a woman who wishes to put him to serious further use must expect to do a certain amount of sanding and planing."

Question to the pooh bahs at Maggies Farm

You provided Mr Merc as introducer and trainer for more usage of things such as bold, italics etc....do you want us to use them ? If not why were we provided his expertise in the fist place, including a "cheat sheet " for immediate accesss at the end of each thread?

Which way do you want it done? It's getting a bit had to understand the MF Mission Statement, the training that gets used and yanked, and just what the guideline are?

I know I'd appreciate a clarification.

The other comment functions work, just not images.

BD,

They worked fine last night, and you seem to have no trouble getting an image up.

Is the image function off limits to all of the contributors now?

BD,

Understand, I'm simply attempting to understand the rule book.

Last night they worked fine. There was no announcement today the the images operation had been disabled for contributors so I hope you can understand my confusion, and request for clarification.

So I assume that the image function is now inoperative for all contributors, is that correct?

BD,

I am interested, as well, why images seem to be cut off for commenters. Would you mind telling us why they are cut off and why you made no announcement that they were cut off?

Yep, your microphone.

Thanks Luther I'd forgotten that in just two days.

Now just get in line and do what you're told and you'll be loved by all, and oh yeah , just don't pay any attention to their mission statement.

Luther the Interlocutor

Luther, Let me clue you. You've been giving me direct advice on how I should comport myself. I don't need it from you Luther. Now that ,in and of itself, more than likely won't prevent you from attempting to be the arbiter of my behavior. But do be a good lad and go shepherd someone else.

Heaven forbid you to become the lese majesty.

Habu,

My statement was rendered with heavy sarcasm. Sorry it did not come through.

#2.1.1.1 Luther McLeod (Link) on 2008-06-02 10:24 (Reply)

And to be clear... which I apparently am having a hard time doing this morning... it was in no way directed at you.

No apology required Habu. I was too clever by half.

I agree that the change appears to be somewhat capricious in nature. Apparently it is felt that the peasants cannot be trusted with the posting of images. And yes, an announcement would have been nice.

I checked earlier images that had been posted. They were all turned off as well. So apparently it is site wide.

Habu, relax, take a deep breath. Let it out slowly.

Consider, maybe you were planed and sanded too much?

#3 Ratso on 2008-06-02 12:17 (Reply)

On Topic.

At age 58 there is no way in heaven or hell that I am going to allow some damn broad to come around thinking she is qualified to sand or plane me. I spent my eligible years being told I wasn't rough enough, didn't make enough money (am an artist), and too intelligent; do you think I am going to allow a sex that idiotic to "change" me? Mr. O'Neill is p' whipped and I have found such men as artists are of a lesser grade.

Now you gentlemen can go back off topic.

And priming. And painting.

And to think of the humor/sarcasm that could have been written about this post. D'oh!

Sorry njartist49, I believe I was on topic. Providing humor/sarcasm along the way too.
