It's bad karma to take karma seriously.

I'd say you're no longer a newbie, because you've been here a while, and been fairly active that entire time. Newbies are just around a few months.

Aren't newbies next to the jelly babies on the shelf. But just a little softer?

It can be considered rude to make fun of someone who occasionally stutters.

Neil, just as a sidenote - even if one does't know about the "tripe" meaning, it's still multiple meaning - I always used it as a combo of try and type.
But - it wasn't actually a trypo - since you had the word centuries right.
It was a thinkpo

Well, I know that AP is an acronym for access point then I read the first three letters and promptly changed the topic.

Nope, Wannabe. Whenever I edit a typo I give the reason as trypo. Done it since I joined up two and a half years ago. It's a very weak attempt at a little humour in my apology ... meaning I wrote tripe. Dunno about other countries, but tripe has a double-meaning in the UK; one is the food, of course, the other is 'nonsense'.

To claim I'd been around for over six CENTURIES instead of DECADES was more than a trypo, though, it was a full-blown blunder. Younger visitors might have believed it and asked me for the secret of longevity. I fixed it assap so that the point would be pointed out too often and clutter an already cluttered thread (to which I'm now adding a tad more).

Didn't work, of course. But when you're over 600 years old, you can be forgiven the odd wee slip in judgment.

Och well, all good fun. And a change from the serious stuff ... which maybe this thread isn't any more. I do feel it redundant. Interesting views expressed (many) and I hope we've all taken the thoughts of others to heart. Bestests (not a trypo but telexese). Neil

PS: I also speak fluent Pitman's shorthand. N
Hey you look pretty good for 600 yrs. old.

I remember Pitman's shorthand. Or rather just a few strokes of it. Many many years ago.

If I could, I would subtract karma from any one that cares/complains about typos on an internet forum, double so for when they make a typo while complaining.

MR karma is such an unstable currency, I'm not sure it even exchanges for standard internets.
