Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It brings to mind how many times, as a developer, I or a colleague have been told that we are cynical for pointing out that, to use a metaphor, we will probably never get reindeer to fly.

That kitten hanging off a washing line by its paws with "Hang in there" is just as bad.
By "hanging in there" you remain just as stuck as ever and - your a cat. You'll land on your feet if you let go.

I made a decision to delete those posting I have made herein. I have accepted the comporomise that Marco has provided to us.
So please find a way and stop this thread and simply delete these messages.

Who's Marco? When did such a newbie get editorial powers?
BTW - Thanks for recognizing so nearly how inappropriate your first few were. You'll be amazed at how many never catch on. Welcome, Lothar... Code long, and prosper...

I'd guess some people are too trigger happy on the nuke account button and blew his 2nd account away along with his first. From what I saw last night, he screwed up and got smacked hard with a cluebat, but the message appeared to have gotten through; killing this account after the fact is IMO unjustified.

I'd agree - but if he asks nicely, Chris can re-instate him. Unless Chris did delete his account - which is quite possible, since the whole thread is missing as well.

Even if it wasn't Chris who pulled the trigger; I wouldn't be surprised if the guy's either gone permanently or if he return's will do so under a completely new identity.

Thank you for the discussion. I was able to follow while my kickout. Things go wrong, humans make errors, but errors are correctable.
I am happy to have my account back, thanks to an escalation from Marco.

Left work on Friday feeling great about this weekend, I was going to go visit my parents, read a new technical book, go to the pub etc etc, it was going to be great.
It's Sunday evening and I've done nothing, God I feel like such a failure right now

Sounds like a perfect weekend to me.

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

Went to a friends summer house (an old inherited farm actually) to celebrate Midsummer with a few friends and families on Friday.
Was cruelly awoken way to early by my children but managed to recover, kind of, and drive home yesterday evening.
Managed to build a staircase to the patio today. (Just one step, but it sounds much better that way). Very happy about my achievements.

Welcome to the Lodge. Perhaps we should rename you, HomerTheExceedinglyAverage. We've all been there, Dude; move along, nothing to see here...
Tomorrow will probably be far better, so hang in there.
