Trust me, you'll never have to deal with them again.

It's an open plan office, too, so it would have even more impact

maybe you would only have to do it once.

(after that, you could maybe come over here and help me out with some of my clients.)

Stupid MobileRead software!

There I am posting a book and browsing the forum in a second window while my book is uploaded. I do a quick answer, then notice my book is up. So I go to my main window and try to post the book. Stupid thing doesn't let me do that post and makes me wait for 30 secs!

That was another windows and another thread, you stupid thing!!

Lesson: Don't upload and post in another window!

i know what you mean, speaking as another person who always has eleventy million browser windows open at the same time.

the forced delay is to avoid bots spamming the forum and posting 600 spammy ads in one nanosecond. i'm sure you see why we all prefer to avoid that, right ?

patience, it's only 30 seconds !

They may become ex-clients though... (in the sense of not wanting to give work to some-one who employs such tactics...)

Or such helpers. Just sayin'.

me thinks my spleen just hit the buffers....

badgoodDeb · 01-23-2009, 04:33 PM

Wait --- I thought it was NATE for whom we keep a pile of extra spleens. You mean we have to order some in YOUR size, too? [ tallys up .... carry the 2 .... ] This is starting to get expensive!!

pshrynk · 01-23-2009, 04:34 PM

Nate uses the cardboard ones that we get in gross lots. Geoff requires the silicone ones, which are lots of gross.

Patricia · 01-23-2009, 05:12 PM

Actually, I believe that it is Natch who requires regular spleen transplants.
Nate seems to manage quite well with his original organ.

"e" is the average of "c" and "h", so pretty much the same...

I don't think so. You wouldn't round-down to get average, and the average is more "ef". Sheesh, how hard is it to do the "ef"ing maths, pshrynk?

Cheers,
Marc

Adrian was doing the math, but had only had two ZCD's...
