A noble effort by Luis Matos up there but alas...you can't stop history in the making.

You know the number of times i've clicked on this thread to see what comment has been made as I feel responsible / I feel I should check to see if I should respond?

But that's a lot of posts anyway.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 28 June 2004 09:14 (nineteen years ago) link

(Sorry Mark.)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 12:54 (nineteen years ago) link

s'alright.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 28 June 2004 12:56 (nineteen years ago) link

(yay)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 12:56 (nineteen years ago) link

ooh.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 28 June 2004 12:58 (nineteen years ago) link

(You don't want me to have the last word, do you?)
(DON'T ANSWER THAT)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:01 (nineteen years ago) link

No it's alright. You can.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:02 (nineteen years ago) link

(yay again)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Just lock ilx and be done with it, please.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I did order the book the day before I ordered the copy. I don't know if it will actually happen, the removal of the item from Cafepress may have cancelled the order implicicitly. I idly thought about making this tread a volume two, and very much keeping it to myself.

(Xpost prob)

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:04 (nineteen years ago) link

(haha if I could lock ILX, I could CONTROL THE UNIVERSE)
(at least I tell myself that)
(hold me)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:07 (nineteen years ago) link

mandee & I ordered the book, too.

we should have got.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know.

And now I tie a brick to this thread and it sinks away...

(bye bye thread)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:09 (nineteen years ago) link

What a thread.

I've been fairly repelled in this thread by the fact that certain people think that their words are more important than other people's words because they've written stuff professionally. Like that makes you better than us barely-literate proles who haven't made money from their writing?

If you've been paid for WRITING ILX POSTS then maybe you've got a fair claim, posts that you've worked hard on and feel represent the best you can do and demonstrate your professional ability to the world. If you haven't, even if you happen to be Noam Chomsky telling knob jokes and talking about how you like it up the arse, then tough shit, you're in the same boat as the rest of us schmucks. Live with it.

(NB I don't think it's right or appropriate to publish/print for non-personal use anything that's been on ILX, but this has all gone way beyond a discussion of legal and moral rights)

(FIN)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Thank you for your words. I created another thread for the latest 'news' on this as I didn't want to revive this thread again, but here it is so anyway...

This book was for personal use. The resulting discussion has been fascinating and cool. The amount of outright hate has been negligible, if not non-existant. I don't know if anyone regards their words as being more important than anyone elses, but by regarding their own words as important. Which is as it should be.

Some important distinctions have been drawn up.

My final thought. I regretted this last week. Now, I kind of don't. My only regret is upsetting/annoying J.Dar3ie3ll3 to the point that he left forever. And I don't get my book, but that is minor.

And now, VengaDan says...

apart from me to say something - Barry is completely and utterly OTM

/falls over

― chris (chris), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:24 (nineteen years ago) link

dan, you're the moderator, we get it.

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:30 (nineteen years ago) link

(apparently you don't otherwise people wouldn't keep posting to this thread)

(and anyway a cursory scan upthread would show that I'm not trying to make any point whatsoever that involves being a moderator but keep on laping to those conclusions)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:52 (nineteen years ago) link

look before you lap.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:54 (nineteen years ago) link

(CURS YOU DMON KYBOARD)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:55 (nineteen years ago) link

dan why don't you just lock the thread if you feel so strongly?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:00 (nineteen years ago) link

(Because it would be an abuse of mod privs.)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:02 (nineteen years ago) link

This is like that Victor Borge sketch where him and another piano player are playing manic chords going up a piano, swapping to the bottom of the piano and going up the keyboard again and again and again, until Victor gets to the top and then slams the piano lid down.

BANG!

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:03 (nineteen years ago) link

do the moderators have their own bathroom?

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:04 (nineteen years ago) link

but dan don't you think that maybe your "last word" posts are doing nothing but prolonging the thread's existence?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:07 (nineteen years ago) link

I think this thread could conceivably catch Sadahura Oh! And it started off its career under the radar (tear)

Chris, are you okay?

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:59 (nineteen years ago) link
