Milton said that, really? I don't remember that from the movie Razz



Really though, what a treat to have such an intelligent and well educated moderator! I'm not sure what you're supposed to do AS moderator though, I figured knowing what to do was part of your moderating responsibilities. I'm just a passenger on this wild driving adventure. Smile

Very Happy thanks, but you know what, I too wonder about that sometimes...I mean, aren't moderators supposed to be more... um.. robotic - if that's the word for it - in their responses.... and clearly NOT so easily distracted?! Hmm.... I have some serious rethinking to do now...

meanhwhile, you should stop getting distracted and focus on those important driving skills you can pick along the way...! We don't want you crashing that car either....
See, we care about our members too.... ! Cool

thanks to you Misha, I guess we did save the thread from a total wreck!!

lol @ Chief: would you like me to change the name of the thread to 'pearl's of wisdom' instead? I could do that...and not just to show off! Razz

MOW

Well, you're in charge so I suppose you can do whatever you want...I just think a thread that runs the gamut from quoting philosophers, covering the transition of human society from tribalism to monogamy, teaching people how to embed images, and so much more...well, I think it is worthy of a bit more respect than you're giving it Razz

"When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one Talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest He returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed,
And post o'er land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait."

Milton was truly a visionary...I too post without rest.

Cool

Shocked I'm impressed.....! you know Milton wrote that poem at a time when he was nearly blind... he so feared it, hence the lines.. stand and wait...

Btw. I like the way you've summed up the entire thread there... haha...so, apart from being an internet pro, do you write as a hobby?

Hey guys, still trying to learn my way around. It seems that no one has had anything "random" to say for a couple of days? Looks like you NEED me!!! Laughing

lol..yes, the off topic threads are the ones.... and its much quieter here, esp. compared to Hp! Very Happy

As for links, generally they aren't allowed, unless strictly relevant to the topic.

Hey, welcome here Shari! Great to see you! Oh it's a long story, but suffice to say I cannot log onto Hp without someone harassing me! I've reported him to Hp staff, and they are monitoring him (as he has been harassing lots of us), but I just needed to get away....

Anyway, nice to have you here.... and hope all goes well with you?
