L0stb0Y's Journal: Friday, what a day~

I just noticed my /. user number. Pretty large number- but then I looked at some of the user numbers of people that (at least appear to) post regularly. *shrug* I guess that helps account for the /. effect~

I also notice that the message system is not really set up for a dialogue per se- I wonder how the /. community will react to attempts at actual discussion on something, rather than the drive by +1 shots...(or the occasional flamebait or Troll posting)- ONCE in a while it's a hard call to decided between TROLL and INTERESTING- because of the paradigms and viewpoint that something may be read...for example, my post about the Macs today...was meant very tongue-in-cheek...but by someone looking to defend their lovely cracked iCube, I was easy to read into~ Reminds me of that old Chinese story: The advisor to the emperor was chatting with him one day, and the emperor commented that many of the subjects looked like pigs. Then the emperor asked what the advisor thought the emperor looks like. To this the advisor responded that he looked like the buddah, because he who sees through the eyes of the buddah sees only the buddah. (hehehe slick way to insult your emperor- never heard if at the end of that story the advisor was beheaded or not...)
