Are these Leftist Kooks?

Guess this guy will get taken in metamoderation (But wait, "overrated" usually doesn't get metamoderated), but I still wish that Slashdot had the "Who moderated this comment list" like Kuro5hin.

Facinating, it appears that the Slashdot Staff (or a friend of Slashdot Staff) have set up an account to mark many known trolls. If you add this guy as your friend (I haven't yet, and I may not), you get the benefit of the "foe of friend" icon. Useful for some folks, not for others.

Check out the No More Trolls foes list.

How do I know this is a ./ or friend of ./ ? He's one of the few noneditors in CmdrTaco's friend list.

Or maybe I'm way off the mark.

Guess I missed a change in the contract somewhere. I only bought RH7.2 15 months ago.

Keeping some trivia here.

Earliest post by me in the Slashdot DB, right around y2k. Guess the DB doesn't go further back then that, because I know I had made posts before Jan 1, 2000.

What's really odd is I still remember making that statement. Sort of ironic, after being laid off 3 times since I said that.

Ha! Finally a group with some authority on the matter.

I prefer octopod, myself.

Now I'm going to find everyone who corrected me in grammar school with a snotty 'It's OctoPI, stupid' and smack them around with the OED.

Honestly, askoxford is a great site for the grammar-challenged.

Although they still can't explain why some people (here in N. America) say "Wenz-day" wheras other people say "Wed-nez-day", and yet others say "Wedns-day". It's spelled Wednesday, but which is it?

Why is it that I get this message, when It's been several minutes since I hit 'reply' and submitted a comment. Strange cookies...

Slow Down Cowboy!

Slashdot requires you to wait 20 seconds between hitting 'reply' and submitting a comment.

It's been 15 seconds since you hit 'reply'!

Chances are, you're behind a firewall or proxy, or clicked the Back button to accidentally reuse a form. Please try again. If the problem persists, and all other options have been tried, contact the site administrator.
 

Some guy with the eBay id of 'motorbikeboy' sold a Slashdot account for $152.50.

I was curious which accountname this could be, so I did a little digging:

- Paypal ID is pnedick@yahoo.com

- Paul Nendick pnendick@yahoo.com is well googled.

And then I realized that I really need to get ready for lunch with friends, and this is just one of those dumb mental tangents we all get stuck in, so I quickly gave up.
