As has been pointed out, the rules on this particular forum prohibit that though. Its really not any quicker in practise anyway.

Just remembered that I played pool with a satanist last night. Really should go out on a Friday more often.
Had a good night last night. We lost the pub quiz but had my hair plaited by a viking.
It's also incredibly annoying and makes you sound thick. Which you may or may not be.

i think generally your wanting to attract people to the board, not actually make people leave the board!!!

My general attitude is that new people bring new ideas and a new style to the forum (I'm still reasonably new myself), and this should be encouraged.
However one of things that I like about this place is the general consensus on the need for a clear and accurate writing style, and an appreciation of well-reasoned debate.
This seems to mean that new members quickly split into two groups: those who share these sentiments and end up posting or lot, or those who think it's pedantic bullshit. This latter group tend to find that they attract an early and reasonably intense negative response.
Ian_k, guess which group you've put yourself in?to which id advise you to go back and check my profile and check my d.o.b
That's where you're going wrong dear. You'll be judged by what you post - not exclusively, but over and above anything else. You'll really shouldn't need this explaining to you.
Gosh, I'm coming across as an outraged IT geek. My work here is done.
Now, on a more serious note Mr. k, is it me, or is your punctuation improving the more you type? Well done you!
(Edit: By the way, I don't remember Dave doing a bad impression of an IT geek actually. He gets the piss taken out of him because he's no good with computers. Is that what you mean?)
Maybe you should check some of the previous shows, because he has done that geeky voice in the past, where he taps the keyboard, it probably isnt a frequent thing being honest, but its generally something that crops up when there on a subject.
