Again, I look at who's online (and I wish more of us, including me, did not hide our online status, so I would know whether or I want to hang out at MM any longer) and the "location" field again says someone is "printing a thread". Has anyone ever done this? If so, may I ask why? I'm not saying it's a waste of time, maybe some people don't want to stare at a computer screen for too long, or have bad eyesight or whatever. I am just curious. Anybody who has printed a thread here care to give their motivation?<br><br>While I am on the subject: Any takers on the idea of NOT choosing to hide one's presence when they are logged on to MM? Some of us don't choose the anonymous option II realize, but I am a lot more likely to stick around if I see a regular I know and love is logged in.<br><br>We are what we repeatedly do. -Aristotle

Nope, never printed out a thread nor did I know anyone who did.<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>I am a lot more likely to stick around if I see a regular I know and love is logged in.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Hmmm....so if I uncloak and it shows just you and me here and you leave, I guess I know I'm not one you know and love. <br><br>edit: I'm now uncloaked.<br><br>my beer blog<br>

over at MC, there was an episode once where a poster (i won't name him) was visited by the secret service and they had printout after printout of threads that were participated in by this poster. i suppose we're probably being watched by homeland security . . . a good use of their time. <br><br>

I think it's [self-ceonsored] doing the printing.<br><br>&#63743; &#63743; &#63743; &#63743;

Yeah, well the sad thing is I am at work, writing missives when I have time. I'll stay "un-cloaked" for the time being (and keep an eye out for Romulans) and see how it goes.<br><br>Anyone else care to join the ranks of the uncloaked as an experiment?

I am jealous of that Lone Star tag of yours. How keen is that? I could be "the Hawkeye". (Iowa is the Hawkeye state) but it just doesn't have the same feel to it.<br><br>Who's cloaked?<br><br>We are what we repeatedly do. -Aristotle

I got lucky and caught [color:green]green me</font color=green> before he moved on. I wish he'd come back, it was like having our very own magic dude. I'm sorry I wasn't here back in the day to know him better.<br><br>Back in the day, in another forum far, far away, there was a thread about checking to see who was on, printing, reading, whatever.<br><br>I said that looking at that list made me feel like a peeing tom.<br><br>Really.

If greenme is in school in San Francisco it might be a cold day in the Sahara before he comes back. I wish he would too, though. He's a very good guy.<br><br>&#63743; &#63743; &#63743; &#63743;

I'm going to print this thread right now... just for the halibut. <br><br>- alec -
