Allow me to translate: > >"YOYOYOYOYOYOYOYOYO WHASSUPWHASSUPWHASSUPWHASSUP!!!!!!!! Okay, let me pick this apart. First off, the whole "yoyoyoyoyo" comment was rather uncalled for. I use the phrase "Hey yo" for several reasons. One is that I'm from Philadelphia, and, at least with my group of friends or anyone else I encounter in this city, "Hey yo" is just basically a Philadelphia way to say "hello." Second, "Hey yo" is a phrase one of my favorite professional wrestlers uses, so when I use it, it's also a reference to him. Third, I had a friend who died a couple years ago of a brain aneurysm (although I think it was also due to something else he was doing at the time). I grew up with this guy, and he always used to greet me with that, so it's also a reference to him, which reminds me of him all the time and kind of makes me feel like he's still around. So the whole "yoyoyoyoyoyowasup . . ." comment was rather ignorant of you to just assume I'm some uneducated twit who doesn't know his left hand from his right hand. >"I'm computer illiterate and I intend to stay that way so I thought maybe >one of your sorry butts (that I'd never engage in coversatin' in a public >forum with because I just don't have that kind of respect) might wanna >e-mail me privately and tell me how to do some stuff with this porno >machine I gots here. Long haired phreakz need not apply." I never said I was computer illiterate. I said I don't have a lot of patience with computers. I know how to work almost every program and know how to use the Internet, but I guess that's illiterate though. I couldn't figure out what to do, so I thought I'd just write the list and ask. Another thing is I know I asked a stupid question that probably everybody on this list knows the answer to. So, being respectful to everyone else on the list, I asked to be emailed privately. I asked for this because I didn't want to clutter everyone's mail boxes with a bunch of people replying to a question, all with the same answer. So instead of congesting the list with a very unimportant topic that's not really Creed related, I thought I'd just have people reply solely to me instead. And as for your comment about "Long haired phreakz," so to speak, funny you should mention that. I have long hair, and for that I guess I'm a freak too, right? >There. I hope that clears it up.

Your choice. :-) > As for most of the points you brought up in this little section or your tirade, I have already covered most of them. As for not wanting to talk to the list, 99% of the time I don't write to the list, because I like hearing (or in this case reading) other people's thoughts, and a majority of the time, if I have something to say, someone else already says it before I do. I don't see the point in sending an email to recap something that all of you have already read. I like reading other people's thoughts, so I don't write often. And as far as me not wanting to associate with this list, I sent out two other emails, one, talking about my favorite band breaking up and seeing as what other people's thoughts were on this, and the other was in reference to other bands I'm checking out that I wanted more information on, which in turn I kind of hoped it would spark a conversation on the list about other bands that we all like. But then again, according to you, I don't want to associate with the list. Uh-huh, that's why I said, "If you guys want, you can IM me at NirvanasCreed17." So if I don't want to associate with the list, then why did I tell everyone where they can talk to me directly at? I have a question for you, sir. Why is it when other people asked for help with the Creedquest, other people replied rather nicely, but with me, I just get a snide reply? I think next time you should actually pay attention to what you read. Funny, I remember not to long ago there was a big discussion on this list about personal attacks on people . . . . > ----Original Message----- > From: Michael Kulics [mailto:nirvanascreed17@HOTMAIL.COM] > Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 3:31 AM > To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM > Subject: Creedquest > > > Hey yo, > I was wondering if someone could help me out with this.
