hehe

Grondy says: 'Thanks for all the help; please don't do it again.'

See? Grondy can really live up to his reputation... But LostandAlone can compete with D-rob to see who's the better Macavity.

Thank you Clover, if anyone does wish to have any 'surgery' contact my colleague; Dr Clown, funny as well as lethal with a balloon scalpel...................

To all who expressed gratitude, YOU"RE WELCOME!

To LostandALone, so you've finally decided to show who was the mastermind behind the scenes, eh? I've been waiting for you to come out...

And you did get edited, didn’t you?



Well, to quote yourself: "Grondy, it took me 5 minutes to create something so ugly!!!"
The bits we removed did not ’look good’, and you have admited it. Your crossed out words are still there. So far we have done exacly what you say Grep would want us to do.

LostandAlone, you too knew it was not ok to post codes to mess up the page, but you did it anyway. Removing it yourself simply saved us from having to tell Grep there and then how you were ruining the page for everybody on purpose, simply to make yourself look clever and then later to brag about it.

This thread is pretty safe from being locked. I would be more worried about my account if I were you’ (that goes for both)

*Grabs her award and soars away*

Considering the trouble some lawyers have been giving PT, just because some Tolkien-related artwork was available on a more or less educational site, I have a hard time believing that.

But following your reasoning, one could for instance teach children that guns are bad by shooting down some ppl on the street, to show them the nasty consequences that guns have. I doubt that the argument 'it's for the sake of education' would be taken very seriously in the courtroom.

But then, I'm from Old Europe and am not really familiar with the ways of the Wild Wild West.

Exactly my point. Imagine if everyone could do stuff like that?

As far as the "for the sake of education", I knew your example was coming because I've thought of it myself. Why is the one valid and the other not? Common sense is the answer. Pirating music is bad, but is it as bad as shooting someone with a gun? Clearly not. Also, they may not shoot other people, but they might show a movie. A display is much different than actually doing it. The degree of flexibility is related to the degree of crime. However, with things becoming more and more strict every year I think that perhaps the flexibility will soon be erased completely.

In my example, I should have clarified a bit more on how the music was being used. If used as background music for a slide presentation for one class that will be deleted upon delivery, it's not as punishable than if used as other sorts. Get my point? If you don't then I don't blame you. I can't really explain it any better than that. It kind of boils down to: "The right to swing my fist stops at your nose." I can't give a better explanation than I have so don't argue because I don't have answers; it just is.

Confused himself, D-Rob stumbles into the gloom...

They'd show a pirated movie?


As far as I know, ppl have already been persecuted for just possessing pirated music. But I'm no lawyer and not familiar with the intricacies of copyright law.

I meant show a movie showing someone shooting someone else and the negative effects of such, not show a pirated movie...

People have been persecuted for just possessing pirated music, yes. However, just owning the music is not always an infringement of copyrights. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know picky details. So don't ask for them. What does all this have to do with me doing some html on a webpage again? I've forgotten...
Weary from thinking about what it all has to do with html, D-Rob siddles into the dark...

Please. How about we just drop this html subject and let the thread go back to Cloveress's Awards topic. Else we might come here one day and find this past week's worth of postings have all disappeared, which would be a shame considering the effort we have spent writing them. Maybe these recent posts should be moved to The Programmers & Computer Enthusiast Guild?

PT hasn't been working since 1970 some of the CM I'm sure will tell you more about this

Brainwash? Moi? Pourquoi?

But I am glad we are doing away with pirated music and html. Computer technology is one area I am hopelessly inadept in. Though the awards go out as usual. If there is one trait of fairies,. it's that they'll mess with ANYTHING they come across.

Yes, I've cleared out my inbox so I have room for them all.

I'll just repost Clover's awards so we can get back on track:

This has gone alittle dry.........

Soooo, who would be the 'Hater of Fairies'? just to add, not me, as my dear sister, collects fairy ornaments, her room has them, wherever I walk. Plus she does view herself as a fairy and whithers slightly when fairy haters say 'I don't believe in Fairies' she dies alittle inside.....

Oh but don't you love fairies too?

Don't you just love the witty, mischievous little flutters of an existence by your side?

How can you resist that elf-like smile a young fairy may conjure up to stir your heart?

Oh never mind, I know Vir could probably resist that.... And Loss would definitely not fall for the oldest fairy trick in the book, either... But anyways, most influential fairy-hater? I really haven't seen any good nominees-to-be yet. I'm too well-loved here.

Nah, I usually just smash a mosquito when I see one... and bats are a bit too gothic even for me. I don't plan on dating Wednesday Addams anytime soon!

Don't worry Clover We'll protect you from Vir

Yes yes of course we all love Clover's company, excpt I'm a tad concerned about Raffy I think it's the build up to this months awards which should come by anyday now........ Where in the world has Clover been hiding??? ........... I'll check the attic, you check the basement.........

I bet it was you, cruel cruel Vir, you've probably clipped her wings as well. Shame on you. I think that a few of us should protest..........

Well, if we were to use that option we should wait first for a few days to see if Clover comes back or not, if she does then all of this is silly

Tis time to bid thee fairywell, Cactusess... thou shouldn't have fluttered that close to the web of one of them eensy weensy spiders. Alas!

I think that's seems like a good idea Sir we often write things or "say" things that aren't precisely what the thread original was meant for ..so yes I think it's a good idea

Clover arrives when she means to. See, it may be the 10th of October now, but it is precisely her predicted arrival time and she is NOT LATE! A fairy is never late.

Well, awards go up to here. Tell me more when you hear of them.
It has been a lovely time. I find out PT has been disabled. I spend my Sunday morning composing sentimental poems. I come back on two days later and find out that everyone thinks I'm finally overcome by my long-time rival, sent into exile with my lovely wings clipped off. I pout. Nobody sees it. And so, nobody offers any words of comfort. I feel tiny tiny Tinkerbell-like rage and wonder if I am jealous. I look around the site for more fairies. None have arrived. I touch my silvery wings again. They're still here. I listen for Vir's pulse, because I know his heart must be beating with horror at my return. Don't hear anything. Must be good news. I am happy again.

Jolly fairy back.
Cloveress

Of course we brought words of comfort:


and


Glad that that HASN'T happened, we would be oh so saddened, even the big fat elf (which cut deep by the way), apart from 'Most Saruman-like' *cough* and that your beautiful wings are still in tact. Although, why would you want to look for another fairy??? If we did, then we wouldn't have our one and only fairy of PT............

Thanks for the awards

Thanks Ye; Four-leaf-clover-ess; I'm flattered,think- and thankful!


I do thank Thee, fair Lady; but most of all I appreciate you' r back in threads again!
