HAHA!

[amenditman 931]

Which Bob are we talking about?Maybe we should just stick with our 'handles' to avoid confusion because our internet nicknames are so much more identifiable than our 'real' names.

The original posting where I was ranting about getting happy was for YOU, Bob (amenditman).

Eric and I know one another in real life and he always used to get a kick out of the way I called him "Vtel" on the phone

As in used to, not anymore. Or should we, who want to amuse him, start calling him vtel?

[réjean 267]

Hear, hear. Not only will I lack his post count but even if I studied 20 hours a day about linux, I'll never achieve his level of knowledge!

I'm right with you Liz. And even if someone ever get more posts than he no one will have the patience and kindness that he had. If I am in the top 20 it's because of all the questions that I asked him. Warning!!! Get ready everyone because I might have a whole lot more coming pretty soon. Love you all!Réjean

Used to as in neither one of us gets out to biker events much anymore... And you chat as much as you like, réjean - we're looking forward to it!

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,769]

Biker events? Ahh... the fond memories I have. 'Tis the biker season coming up pretty soon, too. Wish I had a ****** bike... and an income.

[securitybreach 11,551]

Woohoo I am in the top 10. I am #9

[réjean 267]

Congradulations! Josh.

[Guest LilBambi]

Congrats Josh!

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,769]

Wow! Must have been all those Arch update posts.

Right!!! Thanks everyone!

Congrats Josh.Eric, nice new siggy. Hey, now you have a great new Linux signature, how about making that graphic a link to the Bruno How-To's. Then it will be real cool Linux.

Congrats, Temmu.This thread is working out great.79 posts and counting. You have gone up 14 so far. Edited January 11, 2011 by amenditman

I think, as a sign of reverence, nobody should ever have more posts than Bruno. Maybe delete some old posts if you get close? At the current rate, LiBambi will get close in about 20 years.

[zlim 1,262]

Scot probably has some magic wand that he can wave and up Bruno's post count to a million.

I've thought about what would happen when one of us approached Bruno's post count numbers. Personally, I'll probably retire my current username at 37,903 post.

Admins can definitely adjust post counts. I'd rather leave Bruno's as-is and just create a new username should I ever approach that 37,904 post count.

Oh noes! "It's better to burn out.........." - Neil YoungGood to hear from you teacher. You are still an honorary Linux Explorer, even though you've gone over to the shiny side.

[BarryB 83]

Ok..thought I'd add another for my post count...actually I'm just not that chatty (either with or without purpose or in person either...however, if dumb looks counted...I would lead the pack)

[Guest LilBambi]

I understand your feelings Eric ... technically, however, the ToS that we sign onto when we become members on the forum prevent multiple usernames.Bruno was an absolutely stellar guy! And he would want us to beat him out on postings now in the spirit of helping each other.

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,769]

Ah.... but I wouldn't technically have multiple usernames. I would retire one and start another. By the way, have you seen how many variations of Scot Finnie usernames we have on this board. HAHAHA!

[Guest LilBambi]

Of course, things are a bit different with owners of forums than with members -- he needs multiples so he can make sure how registration, changes, etc. are working for various levels of membership. You likely have several on your own board for that very purpose.

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,769]

I have tireswingtesteralan for that on my boards. Haven't you met him before? Here's his intro --> http://www.vtel57.co...swingtesteralan Link dead.

On most forums where I have elevated privileges, I always create a normal user account. That way, when I'm at a hotspot, I log in as a normal user. If anyone sniffs my password, they can't trash a forum because it is just a normal user account.
