Expect this to grow over time. I plan to make this a respository of frequently asked questions by newbies and ones I forget the answers to, but need when I'm working on the bike.

It's not intended to be a traditional discussion thread (hint, please no off-topic posts, but worthy additions OK)....so I reserve the right as thread starter of redacting and truncating. Thx.

Of course this bothers the anal side of me to no end....that there would be 5+ off-topic posts in 12 minutes before I could try and make the change to caps. You can bet I'm going to look at that in the Admin options and SQL side.....

I'm going to struggle all evening whether to use my admin powers to purge this crap............. :dribble:

....I think I'll pull a Newman and wait a couple days when nobody is looking........yeah. :ph34r:

Well you could..... But you got two other admins laughing at it too. :p

 
And to think that I was one of the first to look at this post and thought Fag, huh. But did I reply with some smart ass comment, no I did not. Shit guess I should have. JB :D

I used to be like that........... I learned "If I don't, Someone else will!" :D

 
It really bothers me that after reading all the replies about thinking your post said fag, your retort included "Of course this bothers the ANAL side of me"

LOL!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Quite a choice selection on words!

:D :lol:

 
All right. Try number two at accumulating collective wisdom and details tipped over the balance point to be moved threads. See it's new home in off-topic.

Just wait until I try the third time.
