I love anonymity; it's a whole other dimension of communiques where respect is an instinct.

Anonymity.
I've never been able to say that word.

Communique was a good album :P

^^^I've been known to do that also. I used to admire the quasi-hifi pretentions of those humongous "voice of the theatre" console stereos and their resonant bass and mellow [but stentorian] overall sound.

@Raleigh: One actually, she's quite bamboozled on the whole. It's like laypeople think I myself am an advanced firmware virus. Social engineering's gone so far that people are actually freaking themselves out about code which does not in fact exist...

Good thing I forgot all the real code with such potential on a machine currently possessed by some far wealthier hackers.

Oh I'm not really fishing at all, my post's actually an in-line response, just wriggling around on the deckplates so as to avoid becoming chum.

I would like to check myself in.

(2000 posts! My first thousand took me over a year. But my second thousand took me a little over a month. Does that qualify me for admission?)

I wish everyone knew auslan so i could speak to more people irl. if you have ever wondered why i do not use many contractions when i type it is because there are no contractions in auslan.

I do not mean to cause offense, but I have to ask a dumb question- is auslan a way for a person who stammers to avoid stammering?

Talking with your hands doesn't require voice, so yes - it avoids stammering.

I hadn't thought of that workaround before. :idea: a clever idea.
