Excuses Steiner, listen if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem - please ensure you use the various threads in the appropriate way. I haven't got time to be chastising you every 5 minutes

OOOOHHHH. I am trembling.

And what will u do if I fail to mention TIME every TIME I take TIME to post on the TIME thread? I do not have TIME to talk about TIME all the TIME.
Warspite1

Well, firstly I would take the TIME to find out why you feel you don't have the TIME to talk about the TIME; do you have a TIME management issue? Is the real issue that you cannot tell the TIME? I will take Some TIME out to find what the issue is but feel certain that all will become apparent in the fullness of TIME.

The truth is I can't read numbers. I can read words, but I never took the TIME to understand those weird ten digits.

Do you really think I would mislead you, or anyone??[:D] There was a TIME when I tried to learn to tell TIME. But those were during my college days and there was never enough TIME to study for the TIME class.

SO, WHAT IS THE FREAKING TIME? I need to set the TIME on my DVR, PC and CLOCK in order to know what TIME it is. But I need the TIME right now, not some time in the future when you post a reply.

I decide the rules. Steiner has released that responsibility to me. Therefore I do not have to follow the rules but you have to follow them.

RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH

For the last time, the rules do not apply to the thread starter.

To wit, from Stephen Ambrose's The Forum's Standards of Good Practice, 1999 - "It was then decided by the Galactic Forum Rules Committee that 'due to the complex nature of a threat starter's job in maintaining control and enforcing the paramount rule that all posts must contain some reference to the original thread topic' said thread starter shall not be bound by the aforementioned rule of referencing the thread topic. The thread starter, intra vires, shall be the soul authority within the thread..."

Further, said Ambrose "...thread starter shall inform any poster that ignoratio elenchi shall be no EXCUSE for ignoring standard practices..."

The use of de facto latin in your post makes the content - mutatis mutandis - no more conclusive in its conclusions. Indeed I believe you have acted ultra vires your duty as threadstarter and have exceeded your authoritah. As Franklin sang in his 1996 hit song, Threadstarter:

I'm the trouble starter, punking instigator.
I'm the fear addicted, danger illustrated.
I'm a threadstarter, twisted threadstarter,
you're the threadstarter, twisted threadstarter.
I'm the b**** you hated, filth infatuated.
Yeah, I'm the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated
I'm a threadstarter, twisted threadstarter,
you're the threadstarter, twisted threadstarter.
I'm the self-inflicted, punk detonator.
Yeah, I'm the one invented, twisted animator.
I'm a threadstarter, twisted threadstarter,
you're the threadstarter, twisted threadstarter.

I heard that's a good film but I've never had the Time to watch it all the way through. Pop Quiz: What was unique about this film? Clue: Think Oscars.
