That’s why sarcasm is a risk in here. And I suppose I thought anyone would know that my statement was so absurd it HAD to be sarcasm but then I forget… to some, that statement isn’t absurd! (I only hulu The Daily Show)

i’ve only used hulu for ‘escapism’—-i’ll check-out that ‘Daily Show’—-re: wOw’s servers? don’t know ‘bout you, but i get an average of 2 duplicate posts—-out of a daily ‘inbox’ of +/- wOw 60 posts, 1/2 will be ‘total-dupes’ so they do have a prob there, lest it be my mail client, isp? as for sarcasm? one tricky deal—-prefer satire—-overall i’d say wOw is not your usual forum—-very diffy format—-hard to hack, hence one of very few i visit—-still, if you’re outspoken, you will garner ‘enemies’—-and clever ones—- hope you’re warm up there—-Fla.’s gettin’ frostbite—-

That happened to me once too where I was getting duplicate e-mail alerts for every post. Just recently I wasn’t getting any e-mail alerts at all. If you go to “Contact Us” and contact the category* “technology” and tell them your problem, they are usually pretty quick to fix it.

yeah, even ‘ubuntu’ get’s cracked, and i’m a real jumpy one on security—-see something ‘unusual vs. past’? should have asked ya—-And that post was unique, as sarcasm is a tool i’d never seen ya use—-wOw ‘seems’ to be ‘secure’—-i’ve been surprised before—-still, the error goes to me, purty lady’—-‘sorry ‘bout that chief.’ :)

Gulliver, If you had ever read any of De Burca’s other comments you would know she was joking……… Sarcasm is often times the best way to respond to something so ridiculous

Smoking dope …….. currently against the law; can he be punished by the law? No, he was not caught in the act. Will it affect his earnings potential ……….. probably not, we are a forgiving society when it comes to public figures in any industry. The Olympic Committee will more than likely sanction him, possibly bar him from the 2012 Games. Will he survive the fallout ……….. absolutely.

That is ……… being caught in the act by law enforcement.

The only thing George W. Bush ever said that I actually understood and appreciated was: ” When I was young and stupid, I was young and stupid” (sic). ‘Nuff said. Apology accepted. We reveled in the glory of his Olympic Gold(s), now let’s allow him time to grow up and experience life outside the pool!

Annie, I agree and think it should be legalized and taxed anyway. But, your Bush quote is great but he should have realized that “stupid” can tag along with with aging process but guess he got it right once like a broken clock. LOL

I’m sure “M” has learned his lesson well…albeit, the hard way…I sincerely doubt hell screw up again anytime soon!

Pot should be legal. If they just drop this it will all be forgotten in about a day. He’s a marvelous athlete and that should be the focus, not what most of the young are doing anyway.
