MOTM

Erm All !

Let's quote some, and comment :

>Please do include links, but do describe what is pictured or
>mentioned there .

I have NOT spoken against links, on the contrary, i think they are an 
integral part of the whole internet thing, and as such very 
interesting and even necessary .  I have around 200MB of html etc in 
an offline cache sytem called Nearsite, and another 400MB or so 
archived .  I have been known to provide links, if asked for .  And 
if relevant i do include these in my own posts .  My point was :

>I for one do not read my email online but offline, so i have no clue 
>what this is all about, and i'm not going to log on every time a 
>link is included .

What this means is :  quoting a link without any context is pretty 
useless to some people, and it has even nothing to do with having not 
enough time, or finding it not worthwile to go see .  Say i download 
my mail and put it on a laptop to go and read it in the garden . What 
relevance would a mail like this have to me then, as the brand and 
type of that ancient flanger, or whatever, is not mentioned .  Are 
you going to answer me then that i'd better get a GSM with internet 
connection at half a buck a minute ?

What's a DSL line ?  Remember i'm not from the US :-)

I might get a cable modem connection sometime in the future, but my 
yearly subscription has been paid for, and the cablenetwork was not 
enabled when my fee was due, so .  And at this time, i have no real 
problems with my internet connection at all, thanks .

Let's open another can of worms :  Downloading music ?  MP3's ? Ha .
Useful, but that's all .  Quality is not good enough for me to go 
shelling out my hard earned money on the commercial schemes all those 
greedy industry bozos or mindless "Hurray" journalists suck out of 
their pens without thinking .  I said useful :  good to spread "the 
word", but surely not good enough to replace the CD or even vinyl .  
Then there's that DVD-music thing, Said to be "MoBetta" than CD .  
Another carrier ?  Are we then supposed to buy MP3's for use in the 
walk-things and the car, and again as DVD for the home, after 
coughing up for the cd reissue .  Cause we all will want all these 
golden oldies remastered at 24/96, won't we ;-)  And we won't be able 
to copy them as MP3's cause of the spoilers ;^)

Aaah, it feels good to be a grumpy old fart at times ;^P

And remember, dj-kids :


Keep 'em oscillating :)
