    If you see me here I am just trying to stare those little tight black shorts of the girl in red. I thought about wall papering her on my desktop, but I don't think my desk could handle the abuse!

    Yes, and it's why I think it's a great thread. Actually, there weren't any real surprises in that regard as far as I'm concerned.

    The funny thing is, those who run around screaming "no rules were broken" in these cases don't seem to understand that it's the unofficial rules, governed by simple courtesy and club etiquette, not the official rules, that make CP different ... at least that's my opinion. The official rules would just make this club much like any other forum IMO.

    I'm not going to comment on the particular incident mentioned by H9 to start this thread, since the discussion has gone well beyond that, but I was actually more shocked by what went on in this other thread (the fun starts after the first page, which contains 30 posts with my settings, since somebody mentioned that settings could modify the page count) ...

    Wow, man, I never knew anything about this, but you're absolutely right. That was tremendously revealing...and quite frankly I'm stunned. While I've seen some deals go awry here and there, I've never been aware of anything quite like this. Thats pretty sad.

    Edit: BTW I have received a warning about improper language. I am not sure why. I guess if you can start a thread with **** in the title, but P___y or B___h is inappropriate :rolleyes:
    Can I say ****? I thought it was 4 letter words that get you in trouble. My words had five.

    Mark can I get an infraction please? my last one wore off and I know I must have done something wrong somewhere :)

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    How many infractions equal a ban ? Are they saved in a file ?

    A long time ago, we had a secretary that collected all of our completed trouble tickets ( Tool operater writes a trouble ticket....one of the techs accepts it....when we finished the repair on the tool , we closed the trouble ticket out ) ...everytime you handed her a completed trouble ticket she would say " Atta Boy _ _ _ _ _ " to all the techs ....it was guaranteed you would hear her say that loudly every single time.

    So one time in front of the whole shop full of techs , I asked her if she kept track of all the Atta Boys...she said she did ...and that at the end of the year the tech with the most atta boys would get something really special from her. I told her " I just wanna know how many Atta Boys it takes to get a BJ " :)

    Everybody laughed...including her...it was a different time in the workforce....you could actually joke around ...nobody had HR on speed dial :rolleyes:

    But back on topic , just like back then ....I am curious about these infractions you speak of....
