What Nagy did when they tried to outlaw Gin?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
--Zachris Topelius
Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

OK, it's still in the left hand menu, but it has disappeared from the top Community menu...

Are you sure? I think it just went into Psychology!

You're just claiming that it's not there, but SCIENCE HAS PROVEN that it is!
Politicians can say it's not there as much as they like, but their nazi tactics won't stop us believing the TRUTH!

Elephants bury their excreta ?
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

Well, it's gone from the "Community" drop down menu (at least in my browser), and that was what I was referring to?!??! Do you still have it there?

Nope.....but the soap box is the 'dark side' so maybe the hamsters are trying to minimise the exposure of(to) it.

Could be. If that's the case, I blame Griff. Don't know why, but I'm sure he's to blame. Because it couldn't possibly be my bad jokes...

I don't think it should ever have been there, it's not a place that you want newbies to stumble into ...

You never visited The Backroom, did you? Compared to that, The Soapbox is a kindergarten...

And then you have SoapBox1.0 for the pros.

I suspect that both this issue and this thread: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4719141/Your-Display-Names-and-the-Challenge-Of-10-Million.aspx[^] have something to do with one-another.
Somewhat off-topic, I'm almost certain that I noticed Chris wrote "you're" when "your" would have been appropriate. The post now contains the word 'your' although the post itself does not reflect any editing. I feel it likely that we will see some new changes in the near future.
I smell either sponsorship issues or an upcoming sale. I don't have a very good nose though.

Developer:
Code should contain no comments and never by copy/pasted but rather re-typed to avoid copy/paste errors.
Words rarely fail me, but on this occasion!

I'll take copy/paste errors over mistyping, but I prefer library routines and such.

He is right, there will be no copy-paste errors.
Maybe he read about the DRY principle somewhere

So you were talking to the contractor trying to insure his position for life, what an idiot.
Actually it sounds like some of the self righteous pricks that sometimes appear in usergroup meetings, rarely do they last long before someone points out what an idiot they are.

pretty much!
Actually very knowledgeable bloke - but takes the attitude that his ideas are always right and states as fact many things that are opinion or something he read.
Writes code that isn't too bad but isn't easy to follow - wants to use every new feature because its new not because there's any good reason to use it, and has a bewildering collection of interfaces and abstract classes, class hierarchies etc. that just take ages to work through to get a picture of what they are doing - with (of course) no comments to help you on your way.
Whinge over!

First name is not Laurie is it, sounds like a bloke I worked with in the 90s, I hated that he was good and loved unraveling the crap he produced.

There must be a factory where they are producing clones of him. They are the wordly version of very religious people who also always believe that their version of the bible and their unique mix of dogmas are the only true ones.
It's one of my meanest pleasures to give self proclaimed missionaries something to cry about. It keeps them busy and distracts them from the things where I want no discussion.

I would much rather work with someone who writes perhaps slightly messy code - who is willing to learn, open and friendly than a coding savant who 'wins every discussion' and is a complete PITA to work with.
