that doesn't tell me anything, hadron.

i suspect that you need several windows open to do the complicated quoting action.  and then copy and paste.....maybe a little deleting of the insignificant words?
Misunderstood.

No, there is a small button on each post that says quote.

No.  On the "post reply" screen, scroll down.  You'll find a reverse-order list of the last several posts.  Along with those is a tiny 'Insert Quote' link that will quote that post up in your reply.

Funny about the post-quoting thing; I always do it by opening multiple tabs and then copy-n-pastin' the quotes into one reply.

Liam is Morthaurs real name.  He signs off his posts with it a lot on Fractalus!
I probably wouldn't have used me given name so quickly here, but yeah, that's me.

morthaur, are you really a longshoreman?
Yes, in the port of Los Angeles / Long Beach.  I'm actually a fourth-generation on the waterfront; my great-grandfather was a founding member of the ILWU and was in the first generation to retire on a pension.

Where do you know callaway, ozy and Drunkard from?
We met several years ago on a site called Aspergian Island.

Nope.  If I were less lazy and more dedicated to working there I'd get meself into the clerk's union, since that's the only kind of work I ever enjoyed.  Maybe, subconsciously(?), I dither because me pop is still a popular supercargo.  It's bad enough that I have the same name as the previous four generations; do I have to do the same job?!   ;D

clerks certainly get paid well, but i fear that a bulk of the clerk jobs will be gone within the next ten years.

my wife is a casual and loves clerking.  i prefer to drive machines. 


is your dad a steady?  where?
Misunderstood.
