Another open letter.
Guy walks in, asks for a set of spare strings and an effects pedal battery... I sez to him, you're a drummer, aren't you, and he sez yeah, how did you know, and I sez this is the fish and chip shop, the music shop's next door

Grow the hell up.
You people all seem to think that you can sit there, misconstrue what I say, quote me out of context, and flat out fucking ignore me when I point out why you're wrong, and why what you are saying is wrong, and why what you think I am saying is not actually what I have said.
Welcome to the Internet.
Stop it.
Seems unlikely.

Go Team?
I figure it's the alloy, but the damn choices don't match up with the question
But since neither tin nor aluminum is an alloy, that doesn't affect the correct answer.

Why the gender discrepancy?
You're modding more than 8.
You're going to get wow on your top.
You take that negative feedback down through your rumble filter - to your woofer - what do you get?
FLUTTER ON YOUR BOTTOM!

Something ate your reply, cortex - I see "0 comments" following the rant.

Apparently one of the disadvantages of being a man is that it's hard to avoid coming across like a complete booger-head.

Clinton Obama Filter redux
The politics of this nation is steeped enough in blood, Senator Clinton, you cannot and must not invoke that imagery! Anywhere! At any time!
KO, on the other hand, clearly has a special licence not only to invoke it, but to harp on it.

I keep my gloat on a tether in the back yard. He's an angora. Today he found a pumpkin in the long grass and ate half of it. He bleats a fair bit. Sometimes I worry that he's got worms.

Who are the people in your contacts list?
If an uploaded profile picture makes the server barf, re-uploading a corrected picture with the same name turns the profile pic into a black square. Worked around by uploading a different picture, then the corrected one (if you have activity logs for debugging, check my sock puppet's recent update).

Fourthed, fifthed and sixthed, and why don't people listen when we tell 'em that?
Norton Internet Security is more troublesome than most of the adware it fails to protect you from.

Maybe. But the spirit of the DOS-era Norton Utilities is long, long dead.

The writing has been on that particular wall for a good long while, incidentally. I mean, the original Norton Utilities were fine and wonderful things, but they came in a package with a picture of Peter looking Pleased With Himself and Competent with his Sleeves Rolled Up... always struck me, at least, as somebody just itching to sell out.

Watching old askme posts
AskMe has a surprisingly long tail. Every now and again I am pleasantly shocked when some ancient comment of mine turns up under Recent Favorites.

Screwing up the "less than" symbol
It's been a non-pressing problem for so long that it's become a bit of a MeTa in-joke. #1 allegedly dislikes in-jokes. Which I guess makes it a meta MeTa in-joke, or something.
Personally, I just do the Preview, Back-button, Post dance.

For a fleeting moment
I thought that hexatron had delivered me
Unto Mefi code snippet posting nirvana.
The XMP tag
preserves indents like PRE does
and multiple spaces like PRE does
without double-spacing like PRE
or requiring a multitude of entities like CODE
It would be fine
if only
I always wrote... [more]

User comment dumps
You're saying "text file" but I'm thinking that much of what I post here is useful because it's got links in it. Is that text file actually going to be HTML?

A little? AskMe front page tweak
Oh, I see. You were responding to blue_beetle's idea, not the original pony request (which wouldn't, I think, cause the effect you describe).
