At least that is what vivaldirules told me. Me? I am not so sure.

Well, at least I know where you stand on the issue.

Good to know that the people here have developed a marvelous sense of sterotyping.

Are you saying we type with two fingers?

Are you saying that the Scots can actually type???? (Yes, I know, I'm part Scots on my father's side, but we'll ignore that for the sake of idiotic banter.)

Folks can we stop with the personal insults please. I know some of it was in jest... but it is not always obvious when that is the case. Debate the topic rather than attacking the poster.

Thanks...

Yes, of course I can type.

<Points at ZCD>. That is of type "drink".

<Points at Doughnut>. That is of type "food"

<Points at Cybook>. That is of type "entertainment".

<Points at Ricky>. That is of type "trouble".

Remember this one?

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ok+device+poll

we had such fun with it. Thats what I was hoping to have with the current one.

We were............until today.

Perhaps just having two entries was a mistake. If I were a pshrynk I could probably read a lot into it.

people are strange. Now, lets lighten up and keep voting. There have got to be some more K people out there somewhere.

probably the same place Slayda's ebook reader is.........

Ok, I have a confession to make. vivaldirules never told me that stuff I said.

And I should never make extrapolations that just since I am a Kindle owner and am an "unkempt, mouth breathing neanderthal without the brains or ingenuity to run a toothbrush let alone a computer", that other Kindle owners are the same. I am certain most are fine, intelligent people.

And I am working on mastering that toothbrush thing.

You do realize it's much too late for a bunker, don't you, Scottie?? You can run, but you can neeeeever really hide. (heh, heh, heh)

Stupid poll. Who thought this one up, anyway???

We love your polls! Keep them going.

(although, you might want to avoid "is Mac or Pc better?" as your next poll if you don't want the trolls to storm it!
