I'm sorry to sound cold, but I don't think i'm missing out on much by scaring away potential members so lazy they can't get past an inconvenience so minor.

I have a 7 foot long stick I use to turn my airconditioner on and off and change its settings because I am too lazy to get up and walk over to it and turn it on and off.  But I have to admit that the cryptic, convoluted process of registering for this site which took all of 17 seconds was a hair away from making me tell you guys to fuck off, i don't need to associate with people who can't manage to provide a way to register in less time than it takes to make a happy meal.
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.

I notice I can see my e-mail icon but I selected not show my e-mail. Is that because I only see it? I
hate to get spam from Scrapheap for those penis enlargement pills he sales on WP

Is he responsible for those television commercials selling "male enhancement pills" with the man who has a permanent grimace on his face that looks like he is being anally electrocuted?   :evillaugh:

Because that's how long it took, the last time I ordered one for my daughter.

If you don't want to stay, do it yourself. The delete option is in your profile.

However, why not stick around and see if you'll change your mind?

I find those copy these characters to prove you're a real person stuff very difficult to, unfortunately I realise they are necessary evil.

I hope you do decide to stick and around to find out if the hassle was worth it.

I thought there was a 'if you can't read this shit, click to contact an admin' link? if there isn't I'll have a look at it. We do need the CAPTCHA, but there needs to be a way for people who can't read it to register, though they might still need a little patience for their account to be manually activated. ;)

Get a new keyboard, fool.

It looks like I have to get a new printer. I dropped a comb in it by accident, and after I got it out, it started printing funny. I think the paper feeder is broken now.

I've been wondering about that, too, McJ. Why don't you just buy a new keyboard? They're cheap.
