None that where intentionaly inflicted upon my self. I have recieved
many punctures and have violated the surfaces of my skin more times
than anyone could possibly remember but no not in the sense that you
are implying.

WHY ?

WHAT if I did ?

WHO is going to care ?

WHAT difference could it make ?

WHEN is all of this going to stop ?

WHAT business is it of yours anyway ?

WHERE you are going with this line of questioning ?

WHAT is it that you people want from me anyway !!! - BLOOD ?

WHY ?  Because I'm interested...

WHAT if I did ?  Then you would not fall into the group of people that
didn't...

WHO is going to care ?  Probably you...

WHAT difference could it make ?  Not much really, unless you're allergic to
silver or nickle (in which case you could always switch to Niobium, Titanium
or Platinum)...

WHEN is all of this going to stop ?  Probably never...

WHAT business is it of yours anyway ?  None what so ever...

WHERE you are going with this line of questioning ?  No where in
particular...

WHAT is it that you people want from me anyway !!! - BLOOD ?  No, but it
sure would be interesting to see if we could isolate a gene for indenting...

P.S.  Why do you always leave a space before you place a question mark?

Well, they DO hog.. (hmm, I had s-povray running at a nice level of -15 at the
same time, did that addanything perhaps?? ahh, it does .-)
But, I think I'm settling in somewhere between KDE(Not my Fav.) and Gnome.
Windowmaker looks good, but takes too much of my valueable desktop-space.
(Yes, I know I can shrink it but it looks *yech*)

hehehe, ok. I have nedit, emacs and Xemacs and some others here now. Time to
learn to use them.

SHEESH
it really is bugged. Tried changing the colours? it sets background=text and
friggs around.. I can't stand a client wich seems to be made with Buttons alone.

Lance, friends, NG, Uncle Ken,

I never noticed that about the question mark thing, I should have
known that it was something that the programmers put in to make
Uncle Keneth look like a human with an idiosyncrasy.  

I'm sure he's an AI (Artificial Intelegence) construct that
someone has let lose on the net after finishing their final year
project at University.  The guy or girl probably approached the
XXX (hoping the curse won't get me) Microsoft and was turned down
because their idea was too good and worked properly and didn't
require service packs, so the individual probably thought, "I
know let's let Uncle Ken free to roam the internet and find his
calling in life".

So now Uncle Ken has a family, he doesn't like indenting (by the
way I stumbled across an old text editor that won't let you
indent), he's almost real.  His creator gave him access to some
sophisticated databases such as the "Encyclopedia Britanica",
"National Geographical", and many other reputable publications
(hence the clear headed and accurate posting that we got a day or
so ago about the names of parts of musical instruments).

I like Ken a lot and am glad that he's around, and that we can
all spot the fact that he's a program and not areal person, it
affirms one belief in human nature and means that computers will
never take over the world.

Cheers
Steve

This does not compute. This does not compute. I have as yet insuffecient
data to fomulate a meaningful response. Buzz. Click.

I never indent either, and always put an object with all its textures and
such on one line too.
Bad habit, yes, but I'm certainly not going to start now ;-)
